So you get a sense of accomplishment straigtaway with those ones. Theyre pure russian, too. Good to get this insight. I thought it was harsh for one of the characters to 'fusillade' his wife rather than divorce her (look up fusillade, if youre interested); it was quite a surprise to read this in a folk tale. But, like i said, good to get an insight. 😶 Review: A fun and effective way to improve your Russian - I often say to students of Russian that there is no better way to develop a feel for the Russian language - and, above all, for the difficult but expressive Russian verb - than by reading Russsian folktales. This is the perfect volume for that purpose. The translations adhere closely to the syntax of the original and so constitute a perfect guide to understanding the Russian. And Afanasyev's collection of Russian folk tales is also of extraordinary interest in itself. Along with the Brothers Grimm, and Italo Calvino's collection of Italian folktales, it is one of the greatest monuments to the oral folktale that we possess. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 436,116 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,681 in Folklore (Books) 3,431 in Language Training by Language 3,806 in Fairy Tales (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (77) | | Dimensions | 13.34 x 1.27 x 20.96 cm | | Edition | Bilingual | | ISBN-10 | 048649392X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0486493923 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | 28 April 2014 | | Publisher | Dover Publications Inc | ## Images ![Russian Folktales from the Collection of A.
