What does put Little Red Riding Hood in her basket when she arrived in Georgia? What was the name of that demonic antagonist who met Little Thumb? An overview of archival sources gives an account of characteristics of Georgian folkloric adaptations of Charles Perrault's fairy tales. The paper deals with transmissions between the categories of "oral" and "literary", and relations between translated print products and oral narratives. The comparison of literary and folkloric versions of fairy tales shows certain features that are universal and serve as a medium between the literature and oral narrative traditions.
Zusammenfassung
Die epischen Helden – Amiran, Tariel und Rostom – sind die beliebtesten Helden in der georgischen Erzähltradition, beeinflusst von der Literatur, die viele Interpretationen in den Volkserzählungen haben. Im Aufsatz werden die archivalischen Quellen aus dem neunzehnten und zwanzigsten Jahrhundert untersucht. Diese Texte, die in eine Rahmenerzählung eingepasst sind, präsentieren die drei Helden aus verschiedenen Epen in einer Geschichte als Freunde, die sich gegenseitig ihre Abenteuer erzählen.
