Here it is - a real find for those who like to read without unnecessary stress. There is no need to take serious volumes, no need to delve into complex theories or dive into analytics. All this can be postponed until later. Now it’s important to just read something pleasant, bright and familiar from childhood.
Facetia. ruis a site where many stories from different eras, countries and genres are collected. There are no boring textbooks, no long introductions. Here are living stories that captivate you immediately. Every visitor can find something of his own: be it German schwanks, French fabliaux, Italian novellas or legends about King Arthur.
I would especially like to highlight one thing - there is even room for anecdotes here. Russian literary jokes, ballads about Robin Hood, Del Arte comedy - all this is not just a list, but a whole universe. And also - the adventures of Baron Munchausen. Yes, yes, the same one who knew how to fly on a cannonball and escape from animals with the help of a walrus’ tail.
I wonder how such things can be so popular? Simply because they do not require effort, but they give pleasure. This is reading for the soul. This is something you can enjoy in the evening, before bed, during a break. No water, just content.
All this is simple and accessible. No subscriptions, no planning. I just came in and read it. And the mood became better. Sometimes you don't even notice how ten minutes have passed.
This is when a story has existed for a long time, but still does not lose its relevance. When you read it today and understand - well, yes, that’s exactly what happened in the past. And maybe even now. Because human nature, unfortunately, hardly changes. People still believe in miracles, love to joke, are afraid, and hope. So it turns out that old texts are not a dead archive, but a living conversation.
It may seem strange, but someone should save these things? Who will remember the cunning foxes if they are not rewritten? Who will tell children about Baron Munchausen if no one finds him? This is why sites like this exist. They are monuments to simple but important things.
There are no direct download links, everything is available online. But you can simply copy the text if necessary - the site does not block copying.
Because it's easy reading. The texts are time-tested and have already proven their value. They are easy to read and enjoyable to re-read.
Yes, there are no ads on the site at all. All to ensure that reading is calm and comfortable.
All the most interesting: short stories, fablio, schwanks, anecdotes, ballads, comedies, legends, poetry - all in one place.
Of course! No paid features. The site is open to anyone who wants to read something good.
