Sajóvölgyi eredeti népmesék (1. kötet) by László Merényi
by Merényi, László, 1837-1907Description
Sajóvölgyi eredeti népmesék (1. kötet) by László Merényi is a collection of traditional Hungarian folk tales written in the early 19th century. The work explores various heroic adventures and mythological themes, prominently featuring characters such as Kiss Miklós, a brave young man tasked with retrieving the sun and the moon from malevolent forces. The blend of fantasy, moral lessons, and cultural elements offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Hungarian folklore. At the start of this folk tale, we meet a poor man on his deathbed who calls upon his three sons to instruct them on a mission. He reveals that the sun and moon have been stolen, plunging their country into darkness, and foretells that one of his sons is destined to recover them. The eldest two brothers choose beautiful steeds and weapons while the youngest picks a ragged pony and a rusty sword. Their quest takes them through enchanted lands where they face formidable dragons and trials to reclaim light from evil, setting the stage for an epic adventure infused with themes of bravery, brotherhood, and destiny.
