| description | The paper deals with specific features of the Shor epic tradition. The storyteller himself is participating in the events taking place in the epic world: he gives his assessments of the events and makes remarks addressing the epic characters. It is important to determine the extent of such involvement of the storyteller and his possible impact on the life of epic characters. As observations show, the epic narrative of the storyteller is not “fossilized”, it gives evidence on his individual style. But although the storyteller A. P. Napazakov perfectly knows traditional epic beginning and finishing segments, he nevertheless might leave out some details while telling a story. For a storyteller who sends an alyp ‘warrior’ on his heroic way, the main thing is not to leave him alone on this way and bring him safely back. |
