The new issue of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to fairy tales — so familiar and beloved since childhood. But if you take a closer look at them, as scientists have done more than once, it suddenly turns out that fairy tales are not just entertaining stories, but incredibly ancient narratives about the most important things for people of all eras — about life and death, about growing up, about relationships with ancestors. In general, fairy tales are a whole world, complex, mysterious and very interesting. BOOKS: V. Ya. Propp. Morphology of the fairy tale. V. Ya. Propp. Russian fairy tale. V. Ya.
