- Городские легенды Cовременная разновидность мифов, как правило, короткие, и, на первый взгляд, правдоподобные (хотя обычно не соответствующие действительности) истории, опирающиеся на современную техническую и общественную реальность, обычно затрагивающие глубинные проблемы и страхи современного общества.
- Бестиарий «Волчонка» Материалы портала посвящены мифологии сериала "Волчонок" (Teen Wolf), различным легендам и поверьям о вервольфах и других существах, встречаемых в сериале.
- Средневековые бестиарии Бестиарии практически составляли особый жанр в средневековой литературе, совмещавший в себе черты естественнонаучного сочинения, теологического трактата и художественных произведений, и рассказывающий нам о представлениях средневековой Европы о животных и чудовищных племенах.
New Bestiary, the encyclopedia of imaginary beings
New Bestiary
Welcome to New Bestiary, the encyclopedia of imaginary beings. The word ‘bestiary’ itself comes from Middle Ages. Bestiaries were compendiums of beasts many of which never really existed.
Today there are many modern bestiaries such as Jorge Luis Borges’s Book of Imaginary Beings and many others. Our goal is to create online encyclopedia of ancient and modern imaginary beings based on reliable sources. The major part of New Bestiary is Russian only for the time being. The list of articles in English can be found here.
We are fully aware that such ultimate mission is impossible but we’re trying our best and welcome you to join our journey.
