This translation of the book ('The Historical Roots of Magic Tale') written by one of the most prominent Russian folklorists of the 20th century Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp, presents one more ...classical work of anthropological and folkloristical science to Slovenian researchers. The theoretical starting-points which Propp concived in his book “Morphology of the Folktale” was in this work projected on concrete material – on Russian and European folktales. By comparing folktale motifs with actual historical and anthropological sources he substantiated his structuralistical and ritualistical theoties in folk narrative research and folkloristics.
Presented are seven folktales from Resia in northern Italy with a strong Slovene minority. On CD are presented narratives which have been recorded on magnetic tape by Academician Milko Matičetov. ...Translations from the Resian dialect in Slovene and in Italian language are published in accompanying book. One folk tale was recently recorded by Roberto Dapit in the Resian village of Lischiazze/Liščaci, and has been included in the collection to illustrate contemporary Resian narrative tradition. The tales recorded on the compact disk represent four different language groups of the Resian dialect, namely that of Stolvizza/Solbica, Oseacco/Osojane, San Giorgio/Bila, and Gniva/Njiva. This work was done within the project Zborzbirk.

Na eni strani za literarizacijo literarizacijo slovstvene folklore. V njej so za dolgo obdobje postale estetsko merilo knjižnih izdaj Pravljice Frana Milčinskega iz leta 1911. Na drugi strani so ...knjižne pravljice, ki se s slovstveno folkloro spogledujejo le v nekaterih njenih sestavinah, predvsem snovno pa so samostojno avtorsko delo. Njihov vrh je Povest o dobrih ljudeh Miška Kranjca iz leta 1940. Težišče tukajšnjega prispevka je v tej smeri, medtem ko je prva predstavljenabolj mimogrede.
