The Holy Mountain: Studies on Upper Altay Oral Poetry

Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 2003.
First Edition.

24cm x 15cm. 166 pages. Illustrated glossy papered boards.

The aim of this study is to achieve a synthesis in forming a new overall view of the stylistic-poetic and structural devices used to produce the archaic mythical and epic cultural tradition of the Upper Altay region. Attention is also being paid to the inherent ethnic nature of the Altaian ethnic groups, to cultural influences and to some extent their present cultural identity.
