Hagyományok (2. kötet)

A lively anthology of Hungarian folk traditions, this volume gathers the vivid tales a village storyteller shared during a single, unforgettable week. The collector transcribed more than twenty‑seven stories, ranging from clever tricksters and stubborn animals to enigmatic riddles and moral fables, each preserving the rhythm and humor of oral narration.

Listeners will hear the texture of everyday life in the early twentieth‑century countryside—kings and peasants, curious children and wary elders—through episodes that sparkle with wit, irony, and a touch of the supernatural. The narratives are presented in their original, unadorned style, letting the listener feel the raw charm of a story told around a hearth.

Beyond entertainment, the collection offers a window into the cultural values, superstitions, and communal wisdom that have shaped the region’s identity. It invites you to explore a world where the line between myth and daily experience is delightfully blurred, and where each tale carries a lesson that still resonates today.
