Wilhelm Grimm

Unumstritten ist der Rang der Märchen der Brüder Grimm - sie sind Weltliteratur. Für diese Ausgabe wurden die insgesamt 240 Märchen, die die Brüder Grimm zusammengetragen haben, einer strengen Auswahl unterzogen und die 50 schönsten, skurrilsten, traurigsten und lustigsten herausgesucht - für Erwachsene und Kinder. Hier kann man die Lieblingsgeschichten der Kindheit wieder entdecken - Schneewittchen, Dornröschen oder Rotkäppchen - und von noch völlig unbekannten in Staunen versetzt werden, so von den zauberhaften Drei Federn oder von der verrückten Hausgemeinschaft Von dem Mäuschen, Vögelchen und der Bratwurst.

The Brothers Grimm (die Br der Grimm or die Gebr der Grimm, Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786-1859), were Hessian academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and authors who together collected and published folklore during the 19th century. They were among the first and best-known collectors of German (and European) folk tales, and popularized traditional oral tale types such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel"), "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschk nig"), "The Goose-Girl" ("Die G nsemagd"), "Hansel and Gretel" ("H nsel und Gretel"), "Rapunzel", "Little Red Riding Hood" ("Kleine Rotk ppchen"), "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats" ("Der Wolf und die Sieben Gei lein"), "Rumpelstiltskin" ("Rumpelstilzchen"), "Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornr schen"), and "Snow White" ("Schneewittchen"). Their classic collection, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausm rchen) was published in two volumes; the first was in 1812 and the second was in 1815. The brothers were born in the town of Hanau in Hesse-Cassel (now Germany) and spent most of their childhood in the nearby town of Steinau. The rise of Romanticism during the 18th century had revived interest in traditional folk stories, which to the Grimms and their colleagues represented a pure form of national literature and culture. The Brothers Grimm established a methodology for collecting and recording folk stories that became the basis for folklore studies. In addition to collecting and editing folk tales, the brothers compiled German legends. Individually, they published a large body of linguistic and literary scholarship. Together, in 1838, they began work on a massive historical German dictionary (Deutsches W rterbuch) which, in their lifetimes, they completed only as far as the word Frucht (fruit). Many of the Grimms' folk tales have enjoyed enduring popularity. The tales are available in more than 100 languages and have been adapted by filmmakers including Lotte Reiniger and Walt Disney, with films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Sleeping Beauty. During the 1930s and 40s, the tales were used as propaganda by the Third Reich; later in the 20th century, psychologists such as Bruno Bettelheim reaffirmed the value of the work, in spite of the cruelty and violence in original versions of some of the tales which the Grimms eventually had sanitized. Included Fairy tales: The golden bird - Hans in luck - Jorinda and Jorindel - The travelling musicians - Old Sultan - The straw, the coal, and the bean - Briar Rose - The dog and the sparrow - The twelve dancing princesses - The fisherman and his wife - The willow-wren and the bear - The frog-prince - Cat and mouse in partnership - The goose-girl - The adventures of Chanticleer and Partlet - Rapunzel - Fundevogel - The valiant little tailor - Hansel and Gretel - The mouse, the bird, and the sausage - Mother Holle - Little Red-Cap Little Red Riding Hood] - The robber bridegroom - Tom Thumb - Rumpelstiltskin - Clever Gretel - The old man and his grandson - The little peasant - Frederick and Catherine - Sweetheart Roland - Snowdrop - The pink - Clever Elsie - The miser in the bush - Ashputtel - The white snake - The wolf and the seven little kids - The queen bee - The elves and the shoemaker - The juniper-tree - The turnip - Clever Hans - The three languages - The fox and the cat - The four clever brothers - Lily and the lion - The fox and the horse - The blue light - The raven - The golden goose - The water of life - The twelve huntsmen - The king of the golden mountain - Doctor Knowall - The seven ravens - The wedding of Mrs Fox - The salad - The story of the youth who went forth to learn what fear was - King grisly-beard - Iron Hans - Cat-skin - Snow-white and Rose-red.

Dieser Sammelband vereint populäre Märchen wie "Schneewittchen" oder "Dornröschen" und weniger bekannte Volksweisen wie "Das Blaue Licht". Jakob Grimm, der sich besonders um die deutsche Sprachwissenschaft verdient machte, und sein Bruder Wilhelm begannen bereits 1806, Märchen und Sagen zu sammeln. 1812 veröffentlichten sie das erste Märchenbuch "Kinder- und Hausmärchen", dessen 1899 überarbeitete Ausgabe auch diesem Band zugrunde liegt. Bewundert von den Romantikern seiner Zeit schaffte es Wilhelm Grimm, den liebevollen Erzählton der Märchen auf Papier wiederzugeben. Und auch heute hat die Sprache nichts von ihrem Glanz verloren.

The beloved tale of Little Red Riding Hood comes to life as part of the Abbeville Classic Fairy Tale series, featuring full color illustrations throughout. This charming series retells classic fairy tales with bright illustrations and a clever tone. The stories in the Abbeville Classic Fairy Tale series have been adapted for children today while respecting the richness and flavor of the original versions. The small size of the books and their warm, inviting illustrations will appeal to children. In addition, children will love the game page at the end of each book, and they will want to read all the books in the series.

The Brothers Grimm rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds. This selection of their folk tales was made and translated by Lucy Crane, and includes firm favourites such as Rapunzel, The Goose Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White. It is illustrated throughout by Walter Crane's charming line drawings.

First published in Germany in 1812, these tales were collected by the two brothers Grimm from neighbouring villages and spinning rooms, and include "Hansel and Gretel", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Rumpelstiltskin". Arthur Rackham's illustrations were first published in 1900.
