Turkish Folk Tales "Keloğlan" and "Nasreddin Hodja"



Turkish folk literature is an oral tradition deeply rooted, in its form, in Central Asian nomadic traditions.One example of this is the series of folktales surrounding the figure of Keloglan, a young boy beset with the difficulties of finding a wife, helping his mother to keep the family house intact, and dealing with the problems caused by his neighbors. Another example is the rather mysterious figure of Nasreddin, atrickster figure who often plays jokes, of a sort, on his neighbors.

These tales are anonymous and in every tale Keloglan finds himself in a trouble situation and finally he solves the problems with his cunningness.


We have added some links related to Keloglan Tales and Nasreddin Hodja Anectodes.
You can also have a lot of information about our lterature,culture,folklore,dances,etc by visiting our Ministry of Culture and Tourism's Website.

POLISH FAIRY TALES



DEAR FRIENDS we would like to present you one of the most
famous Polish Legends: “PAN TWARDOWSKI” – “MR TWARDOWSKI”

According to an old legend, Twardowski was a nobleman who lived in Kraków in the 16th century. He sold his soul to the devil in exchange for great knowledge and magical powers. However, Twardowski wanted to outwit the devil by including a special clause in the contract, stating that the devil could only take Twardowski's soul to Hell during his visit to Rome – a place Twardowski never intended to go.
Twardowski quickly rose to wealth and fame, eventually becoming a courtier of King Sigismund Augustus. He also wrote two books, both dictated to him by the devil – a book on magic and an encyclopedia.
After years of evading his fate, Twardowski was eventually abducted by the devil while visiting a restaurant called Rome. Twardowski started to pray and the devil dropped his victim midway to Hell. Twardowski fell on the Moon where he lives to this day.
