Skazki starogo, novogo i inogo sveta - Akunin Boris

Tales from the peoples of the world. Thirteen non-people's tales from various cultures.

The first edition of the book included tales only from the Old World - Europe and Asia: Japanese, German, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, French, English, Jewish, and Chinese. Because true tales should be ancient.

In the new edition, this geographical injustice has been corrected. Three tales from the New World have been added: Indian, American, and Colombian.

And there is also a tale from the Other World, about which you will now know much more.
