This ethnographic work was first published in 1876. The text is reproduced here with the author's spelling and source design.
Ukrainian beliefs are considered in a contextual comparison with the beliefs of other nations, providing a unique opportunity to learn about previously known and unknown creatures, heroes, and entities, and the author's erudition in the philosophical trends of the nineteenth century adds deep connotations to the described beliefs and inspires rethinking of the usual images and rituals in everyday life. The text is presented in a lively form, full of examples of songs, rituals, and legends.
The reissue contains more than 30 author's illustrations and ornaments.
