1890 To the history of the tales of the skillful shooter
The photos show the actual copy you will receive

In this work, Sumtsov considers various versions of tales about skillful arrows, common in the folklore of different peoples. One of the most famous is the legend of Wilhelm Tell, a Swiss national hero who, according to legend, knocked an apple off his son's head with an arrow. Similar stories are found in other cultures. For example, Norwegian history describes how King Olaf II the Saint (died in 1030) forced a warrior named Einridy to demonstrate his skill in shooting, which resembles the story of Wilhelm Tell. Sumtsov analyzes these parallels, examining their origin and distribution in various cultural traditions. He notes that the motif of the skilled shooter is present in the folklore of many peoples, which testifies to its deep archetypal character and significance in the popular consciousness.
