{"product_id":"russian-folk-belief","title":"Russian Folk Belief by Ivanits","description":"\u003cp\u003eA scholarly work that aims to be both broad enough in scope to satisfy upper-division undergraduates studying folk belief and narrative and detailed enough to meet the needs of graduate students in the field. Each of the seven chapters in Part 1 focuses on one aspect of Russian folk belief, such as the pagan background, Christian personages, devils and various other logical categories of the topic. The author's thesis - that Russian folk belief represents a \"double faith\" whereby Slavic pagan beliefs are overlaid with popular Christianity - is persuasive and has analogies in other cultures. The folk narratives constituting Part 2 are translated and include a wide range of tales, from the briefly anecdotal to the more fully developed narrative, covering the various folk personages and motifs explored in Part 1.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55700272251171,"sku":"9780873328890","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/7336\/2211\/files\/25785483482498.jpg?v=1791033235","url":"https:\/\/agourabookcellar.com\/products\/russian-folk-belief","provider":"Agoura Book Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
