Vladimir Propp!

Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp was born in 1895 and died 22 august 1970. Throughout his life he studied narrative structure and  extended the Russian Formalist approach to the study of narrative structure. In the Formalist approach, sentence structures were broken down into analyzable elements, or morphemes, and Propp used this method by analogy to analyze Russian fairy tales. By breaking down a large number of Russian folk tales into their smallest narrative units, or narratemes, Propp was able to arrive at a typology of narrative structures.

Below are a few books Vladimir has written:
