"In his final book, the late A.T. Hatto analyses the Khanty epic tradition in Siberia
on the basis of eighteen texts of Khanty oral heroic epic poems recorded and edited
by a succession of Hungarian and Russian scholars in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The book examines the world-view of an indigenous culture as reconstructed
from its own words, demonstrates a flexible outline for organizing an analytical dossier
of the genre of oral heroic epic poetry in a specific culture and presents an abundance
of new information to compare with better-known heroic epics. Consisting of main sections
on the cosmos, time, the seasons, geography, spirits, personae, warfare, armour and
weapons and men's handiwork, the book also includes a section of background information
on the Khanty people. There is an afterword by Daniel Prior. Marianne Bakró-Nagy contributed
specialist knowledge of the Khanty language to the linguistic interpretation of the
texts."--Page 4 of cover
