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":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929124851863,"sku":"9780873324229","price":10902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780873324229.webp?v=1771597922","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/russian-folk-belief-9780873324229","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
