A Pulitzer-nominated author and a prominent public intellectual of Slavic culture explore the rich and unfamiliar myths and legends of the Slavic world. This collection encompasses the diverse East Slavs (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus), West Slavs (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland), and South Slavs (former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria), all united by tales of adventure and magic rooted in a shared lore. The authors expertly retell these ancient stories while providing nuanced analysis that highlights their significance within Slavic tradition. While less known than the myths of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Scandinavia, Slavic mythology features relatable elements: capricious deities, demons, faeries, and witches, including the dual-natured vestica. A supreme god commands storms, and gods convene under a World Tree, echoing Norse mythology. The vampire and werewolf emerge from Slavic belief systems. Through careful analysis and sensitive reconstructions, the authors reveal the original Slavic beliefs before they were altered by Christian chroniclers and 19th-century nationalists. They also draw connections to neighboring pantheons and the belief systems of indigenous cultures worldwide, uncovering universal themes in the stories that shape our understanding of humanity.
