5.0 out of 5 stars
More than fifty traditional stories,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Flying Tiger: Women Shamans and Storytellers of the Amur (McGill-Queen's Native and Northern) (Paperback)
In The Flying Tiger: Women Shamans And Storytellers Of The Amur, storyteller/folklorist Kira Van Deusen draws upon her expertise and experience in the oral traditions of the peoples of Siberia (especially in the Amur region) to present more than fifty traditional stories she recorded from the people of the taiga forest in the Russian Far East. The stories bridge culture, history, and spirituality to reveal the lives of the storytellers, their adaptation to the environment, relationships with animals, and even their sense of humor. Readers are also provided with descriptions of the lives of the people of the Amur in the 1990s, a period of rapid and dramatic transition. The Flying Tiger is an impressive work that is especially recommended to students of shamanism, storytelling, folklore, Russia, indigenous cultures, women's studies, and ancient traditions.
