Morphology of a fairy tale. Propp Vladimir

The book of the largest Russian philosopher-folklorist Vladimir Yakovlevich Proppa, published by the first edition in 1928 and repeatedly translated and reprinted abroad, is a classic study of the plot-composite structure of a fairy tale. This fundamental work is one of the most comprehensive sources, shedding light on the morphology of fairy tales, its history, genesis, poetics. In an amazing study by V. Proppa, you will find answers to many interesting questions. Why, when reviving the hero, you need to use not only live, but also dead water? Why can't an evil stepmother take the stepdaughter into the forest, and this is done by the father? Why does Ivan tell Baba Yaga to feed him?

The book will be useful not only to literary scholars, but also to everyone who loves fairy tales.
