Abstract: | “Modern man,” the French philospher-poet, Paul Valéry, once said, “no longer works at what cannot be abbreviated... It is as if the decline of the idea of eternity coincided with the increasing aversion to sustained effort.” There is a school of thought which holds that even storytelling has witnessed this destiny. It is a fact, however, that legends, fairytales, anecdotes and colourful gossiping – very often stories in a nutshell – have been with us long before the era which tentatively but consistently has been trying to send “eternity” into oblivion. |
