Download or read book Slavic Mythology written by Vladimir Zlatic and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book in front of you is an ideal combination of a modern approach to mythology and scientific study. Even today, due to the small number of material remains and scarce written sources, the beliefs of the old Slavs are insufficiently researched and reconstructed, especially among the South Slavs, and thus the Serbs. However, Serbian folklore is, due to specific historical and political condition, extremely well preserved and for the most part remained unchanged since Bronze Age. Not well known outside of its borders Serbian mythology is as rich and beautiful as more popular traditions, like ancient Greek or Norse mythology. Serbian mythology is probably the richest by content and best preserved of all Indo-European mythologies. It is still very much alive today and it is still a part of everyday life. A series of complete articles on demonic creatures extensively covers everything that represents one of the basic and most important foundation parts of Serbian mythology. Many of the creatures described in the book precede the establishment of mythological consciousness and order (language, religion, tradition). Old fate survived numerous attempts to be destroyed and replaced by other belief systems over the period of two millenia. This book deserves special attention because in it, the author Vladimir Zlatic reviewed, systematized and combined previous knowledge on this topic in an easy and informative style which introduce the reader with mysterious realm of evil beings that influenced lives of Serbian people since pre historic times.

Download or read book SERBIAN FOLKLORE 26 Serbian children s folk and fairy tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 26 folk and fairy tales from the Central European nation of Serbia. IT is only within the last few years that folklore and fairy tales have been dramatised and turned into film for television and the silver screen. Here the popular legends, tales, drolls, and extravagances, which have been handed down from generation to generation among the labourers, peasants and youth of a nation, are being given a new breath of life, and a lot of them originate from Central Europe. Some of the tales in this volume are: The Wonderful Kiosk, The Snake’s Gift, The Golden Apple-Tree, And The Nine Peahens, Papalluga, Good Deeds Are Never Lost, Bird Girl, Sir Peppercorn, Bash-Chalek, The Trade That No One Knows, The Legend Of St. George - plus many more. Settled during the 6th and 7th C following the Slavic migrations, the Kingdom of Serbia was formerly recognised by Rome and the Byzantine Empire in 1217AD. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the oldest and largest cities in southeastern Europe. Serbia was annexed by the Ottoman Empire and later the Habsburg Empire. Following WWI Serbia helped co-found Yugoslavia with other South Slavic peoples, which existed in various political formations until the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Under the yolk of communism from the late 1940’s to 1989, many traditional and religious beliefs were suppressed in favour of the communist mantra – but here 26 have been uncovered for you and your children to enjoy. Over the centuries, it is clear that Serbian folklore has had a number of influences which are now indelibly woven into the fabric of the nation and there is no better place to taste the flavours of this rich mix than in the folklore of Serbia. 10% of the net from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities. ====================== KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, Serbia, Servia, the bear’s son, wonderful kiosk, snake’s gift, language of animals, golden, apple-tree, nine peahens, papalluga, golden slipper, golden fleece, ram, ask little, get much, justice, injustice, satan, juggle, God’s might, wise girl, good deeds, never lost, lying, wager, wicked stepmother, bird girl, sir peppercorn, bash-chalek, true steel, shepherd, king’s daughter, princess, good turn, deserve, another, biter bit, trade, no one knows, three suitors, golden-haired, blonde, twins, dream, king’s son, prince, queen, palace, royal, three brothers, animals, friends, enemies, legend of St. George, dragon

Download or read book Heavenly Serbia written by Branimir Anzulovic and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As violence and turmoil continue to define the former Yugoslavia, basic questions remain unanswered: What are the forces behind the Serbian expansionist drive that has brought death and destruction to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo? How did the Serbs rationalize, and rally support for, this genocidal activity? Heavenly Serbia traces Serbia's nationalist and expansionist impulses to the legendary battle of Kosovo in 1389. Anzulovic shows how the myth of "Heavenly Serbia" developed to help the Serbs endure foreign domination, explaining their military defeat and the loss of their medieval state by emphasizing their own moral superiority over military victory. Heavenly Serbia shows how this myth resulted in an aggressive nationalist ideology which has triumphed in the late twentieth century and marginalized those Serbs who strive for the establishment of a civil society. "Modern Serbian nationalism...and its contradictory connections...have been sources of considerable scholarly interest...Branimir Anzulovic's compendium is a good example of the genre, made all the more useful by Anzulovic's excellent command of the literature." --Ivo Banac, History of Religions Author interview with CNN: http: //www.cnn.com/chat/transcripts/branimir_chat.html
