Russian Folktales: A Reader for Students of Russian, Second Edition, offers intermediate and advanced students an ideal opportunity to engage with eight authentic cultural texts of the Russian folkloric tradition. Each transmits a popular tale long beloved by Russians--from The Frog Princess, to Prince Ivan, to Vasilisa the Beautiful, and others--that moreover presents a wealth of linguistic content.

The Second Edition builds upon strengths of the First by offering a greater range of pre-reading and post-reading exercises to suit a wider variety of learning styles. Notes and a Glossary offer further aids for comprehension and interpretation.  

Russian-language audio files of each tale may be found on the book's title support page at www.hackettpublishing.com.
