The Emergence of Legends and Traditions of the Kyrgyz People

“The people... are the first in time, beauty, and the genius of creativity, philosophers and poets...

Scholars—cultural historians, ethnographers—indicate that this thinking is expressed in fairy tales, legends, proverbs, and sayings... In the simplicity of words lies the greatest wisdom...” M. Gorky.
