Copy signed by the compiler, Anatoly Klitko.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1983 collection is a landmark publication of the works of Boris Shergin (1893–1973), the \"bard of the Russian North,\" whose writing preserved the unique linguistic and spiritual heritage of the White Sea coast. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Pomeranian folklore, including the arrangement of \"byliny\" (epic tales), legends, and autobiographical stories that celebrate the maritime culture, craftsmanship, and ancient traditions of the North. The volume is richly illustrated by Boris Strakhov, whose graphic style masterfully translates the rugged beauty and folk-art aesthetic of Shergin’s world. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the mid-century efforts to institutionalize and honor regional Russian dialects and oral histories through high-quality literary editions. This specific copy is especially notable for the autograph of Anatoly Klitko, a prominent literary critic and scholar who played a crucial role in the posthumous editing and popularization of Shergin's legacy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44246211461162,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_9853.jpg?v=1776573504","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/signed-shergin-b-sealed-glory-pomeranian-tales-and-legends-zapechatlennaya-slava-compiled-by-a-i-klitko-illustrated-by-b-strakhov-1983-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
