The Living and the Dead: The Mythology of Unnatural Death in Slavic Culture
9.99 €
How often do you wonder why Slavic mermaids sit on branches instead of splashing in the water? The answer lies in the close connection between the worlds of the living and the dead in our folklore.
This book is an in-depth study of the influence of ancient Slavic burial rituals, ideas about unnatural death, and mythical creatures on modern culture. The monograph is based on archival materials, field notes, and ritual analysis.
