Tales of the Narts: Ancient Myths and Legends of the Ossetians Hardcover - 2016
by John Colarusso (Editor); Tamirlan Salbiev (Editor); Walter May (Translator)
From the rear cover
"Tales of the Narts is a valuable addition to hero-literature and folklore. Passages read like Breughel in oral form, with fantasies and moral lessons combined--even with humor. These are simply great, entertaining, multi-textured stories, and exotic without being too obscure or arcane. Colarusso is an indisputably major voice in this field."--Dean A. Miller, University of Rochester
"Tales of the Narts is a remarkable book and a major contribution. It will be of value to readers in mythology, legends, and folklore, but will also be welcomed by non-specialists who enjoy reading exciting myths and legends about gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines. We simply have not had such a large collection of Ossetian literature in English in one volume before. As the most important figure in the field and North America's greatest authority on Caucasian languages, Colarusso brings invaluable linguistic expertise."--Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania
