Russian Tales and legends
Retold by Charles Downing
Illustrated byWilliam Papas---1964
These delightful stories of Nasreddin Hodja, one of the most celebrated personalities of the Middle East, the Balkans and Greece, have been translated from the Turkish by Charles Downing. The honorary title of hodja-denoting a scholar, in particular one learned in the Quran and religious law - enables Nasreddin to perform many functions in society. He can act as a cadi or magistrate, a khatib or as imam or prayer-leader. He is a many sided hero, sometimes foolish, sometimes wise, but always endearing.
William Papas has captured the Hodja's changing personalities in his brilliant, full-color illustrations.
With an unusual combination of story-telling skill and scholarship Charles Downing has presented traditional Russian Folk-tales and heroic myths in this lively and varied collection for the Oxford Myths and Legends series. Here are superb stories of prices and peasants, of Cossacks and Tartars, of fairies and devils; stories both sad and gay.
