Anne Zandt (poisonpainter) | 130 comments Hi,

this Russian/German book is missing some information.
The ISBN-13 is: 978-3423091534
It was published by dtv
And this is a picture of the cover: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c...
(On Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/Russische-Volks...)

The actual German blurb is:
Der Band enthält sechs russische Volksmärchen aus der Sammlung von A.N. Afanasjew (1854)

Das Märchen von dem Frosch und dem Recken
Das Märchen von dem silbernen Schüsselchen und dem saftigen Äpfelchen
Das Märchen von Wassilissa der Wunderschönen
Das Märchen von dem starken und tapferen, unbesiegbaren Helden Iwan Zarewitsch und seiner wunderschönen Gemahlin Zar-Jungfrau
Das Märchen vom Väterchen Frost
Das Märchen vom Glücklosen Schützen

Because of this it also seems that it was wrongfully combined with the full collection (in this there are only six of them for bilingual reading).

Can someone please look into this?

(I have a copy of it from our library with me, in case you need anything else)

Thanks in advance!

Anne Zandt (poisonpainter) | 130 comments On the copy I have the authors name is spelled: Afanasjew. Is there a difference between the German and English (Afanasyev) version of his name?

Is the author credited as A.N. Afanasjew or Alexander Afanasjew on your edition? I don't see his name on the cover.

Is there a difference between the German and English (Afanasyev) version of his name?

Names in different alphabets are often transliterated differently in different languages. On GR, all editions should have the same (English) name as primary author. When there is a different name on the cover, that name should be added as secondary author.
