"Sagas from the Far East; or, Kalmouk and Mongolian Traditionary Tales" by Busk is a collection of traditional tales likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the rich oral folklore of the Kalmouk and Mongolian people, recounting myths and legends that reflect their cultural heritage. The opening sections introduce themes of magic, adventure, and moral lessons, setting the stage for the extraordinary characters and their quests. The beginning of the work provides a preface that contextualizes the tales, explaining their origins and transformations through cultural exchanges. It emphasizes the importance of these stories, not only as entertainment but also as vessels for historical and philosophical lessons. Following the preface, readers are introduced to the "Well-and-wise-walking Khan," whose journey is marked by encounters with magicians and perilous adventures. The first tale focuses on the Khan's exploits and interactions with magical beings, showcasing elements of bravery and cleverness while illustrating broader themes of fate and the struggles between good and evil.
