Re: THOUGHTS: Folk Stories in VN (European or Slavic?)
From
Date
Body
Dear List,
again, the references to Gogol, Tchekov, Karel Kapek (I know the
spelling
Capek or Tchapek) seem to confirm what I say - that the folklore
referred to by VN was all "filtered" through professional writings.
I don´t know any russian folktale used by Tchekov in his "Monk".
I think it is in accord with the negative attitude of VN towards
"spontaneous",
and "simple" in litterature.
Best,
Sergei
