Grimms Märchen – Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Wilhelm & Jakob Grimm (1785-1863)
This work could be called „The Bible of German Fairy Tales”.
It contains over two hundred stories:
Der Froschkönig, Dornröschen, Hansel & Gretel, Das tapfere Schneiderlein, Der Wolf und die Sieben Geisslein, Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten, Frau Holle, Rapunzel, Rumpelstilzchen, Schneewitchen, Rotkäppchen, Tischlein deck dich, Goldesel und Knüppel Aus dem Sack;
These are the ones every reader will recognize at once. Some have become famous around the World and made the fortune of Walt Disney. Many turned into movies.
The tales are simple but contain essential human behavior, qualities and failures, courage and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal, Crime and Punishment, to quote Dostoyevsky.
The prose style is surprisingly plain and transparent.
However, after getting used to it, we are left with a soothing melancholy.
In the end, even a little sadness, remembering the awes and wide-eyed childhood mysteries of the Christmas tree and little bells ringing out in the distance.
Here is an easy recipe for fairy tales:
We take the following ingredients:
A poor farmer and his wife,
A little girl, or two, two or three brothers growing up and yearning to see the world;
An enormous dark and haunted forest;
An ugly old witch in her haunted little dwelling;
A beautiful and kind fairy watching over little children,
The rugged high mountain and the castle;
An old King and beautiful children, a princess and a prince;
A frog, a duck, some geese, a cock and a hen, some turtle doves, a dog, some pigs, a donkey,
a horse, slippery snakes, and a fire-spitting dragon.
For spices, we need some sweetness and some bitterness, some tears and some smiling, some fights and huggings, some wounds and healing, some witchcraft and miracles, some sadness and happiness, plenty of food and drinks, and some gold and silver as well.
We write all these words on a piece of paper, cut them out fold them up and pour them in a bowl and mix them well.
Then we pick the words out one by one, place them randomly on a large white paper, and fill the space in between with our imagination.
There we are, ready with a new story for bedtime.

Manche Märchen waren etwas verrückt, aber ansonsten super :)

Als Kind habe ich oft und gern darin gelesen. Märchen gingen immer. Man sagt ja, als Erwachsener solle man die Märchen der Kindheit noch einmal lesen, dann sehe man die zweite Ebene und eine tiefere Bedeutung. Nun ja. Ich verstehe die schon. Aber ich finde viele Märchen erzählerisch schlecht. Eklektizismus, unklare Wendungen, Prinzessinnen als Preis...

January 2, 2023Es ist immer sehr schoen das man auf seine Kindheit erinnnern kann, besonders wenn man so ein gutes Buch gelesen wird. Das ist das erste mal, dass ich dieses Buch auf deutsch gelesen wird, und muss ich geben zu, dass dieses Buch mich sehr erfreut und beeindrucken bin.

Das war das erste Mal, dass ich alle Märchen von vorn bis hinten durchgelesen habe. Gut, dass ich als Kind nicht alle kannte - einige sind echt ganz schön gruselig und bei manchen frage ich mich, was die Moral der Geschichte sein soll. Aber vor allem die wohlbekannten lassen sich nach wie vor gut lesen/vorlesen, auch wenn sich manche im eigenen Kopf inzwischen ganz anders abspielen - dank Disney und Co. 😂
Alles in allem eine schöne Märchensammlung und in dieser Ausgabe mit den tollen Zeichnungen besonders ansprechend.

Il ciclo delle fiabe grimmiane l'ho imparato su questo testo rigorosamente in tedesco al Liceo. E' un pezzo della mia vita remota. Poi è arrivato la raccolta in italiano, ma non ha avuto lo stesso impatto.

Eine wunderbare Ausgabe der Kinder- und Hausmärchen! Viele Märchen, darunter auch welche, die nicht so bekannt sind und schöne Illustrationen.

This book was my constant companion throughout my childhood. From the nights my dad read snowwhite to us to the times I was able to read all the stories they'd never mentioned before
