{"product_id":"the-world-of-the-khanty-arthur-hatto-9781107103214","title":"The World of the Khanty Epic Hero-Princes: An Exploration of a Siberian Oral Tradition","description":"In his final book, the late Arthur Hatto analyses the Khanty epic tradition in Siberia on the basis of eighteen texts of Khanty oral heroic epic poems recorded and edited by a succession of Hungarian and Russian scholars in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book examines the world view of an indigenous culture as reconstructed from its own words, demonstrates a flexible outline for organising an analytical dossier of the genre of oral heroic epic poetry in a specific culture, and presents an abundance of new information to compare with better-known heroic epics. Consisting of main sections on The Cosmos, Time, The Seasons, Geography, Spirits, Personae, Warfare, Armour and Weapons, and Men's Handiwork, the book also includes a section of background information on the Khanty people. Marianne Bakr -Nagy contributes specialist knowledge of the Khanty language to the linguistic interpretation of the texts, and there is an afterword by Daniel Prior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Hatto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107103215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107103214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Arthur Hatto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201743581439,"sku":"9781107103214","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_798e2284-0207-477f-a716-1d4d856ac04e.jpg?v=1691491147","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-of-the-khanty-arthur-hatto-9781107103214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
