"Russian Fairy Tales from the Skazki of Polevoi" by P. Polevoi is a collection of traditional folk tales likely compiled in the late 19th century. This anthology features a variety of enchanting stories drawn from Russian folklore, showcasing themes of adventure, morality, and the triumph of cleverness over brute strength. The tales within this collection are rich with cultural significance, revealing a unique tapestry of Russian heritage and storytelling. The opening of this collection introduces us to "The Golden Mountain," where a merchant's son, having squandered his wealth, takes a laborer's job with a wealthy merchant. As they embark on a journey to a fabled mountain, the story foreshadows themes of greed and fate, demonstrating the consequences of the merchant's deceit. The narrative quickly builds suspense as the young laborer faces treacherous circumstances, including betrayal and a subsequent test of his wit and resourcefulness. The blend of fantasy elements and moral lessons in this tale sets the tone for the rest of the collection, inviting readers into a magical and moralistic world.
