أوركو البقرة العملاقة: حكايات شعبية من السويد

Rate this book
An interest in the Swedish people, their language, their litera-
ture and history; the important part the traditions of a people play
in their history, character and domestic life, and that the traditions
of the world play in its history and that of mankind, and that I
would, if possible, add to the growing interest in that far-away,
beautiful country, and that generous, hospitable people, have been
the incentives to the labor involved in this translation ; a labor not
unmixed with pleasure, and not a little of that pleasure coming from
the encouragement of my Swedish acquaintances

No embellishment and not more than a faithful reproduction of
the author's ideas have been attempted, and I shall be happy, indeed,
if I have done so excellent a writer as Mr. Hofberg, approximate
justice in this regard.

مجموعة حكايات شعبية من السويد يدور معظمها حول سر تسمية أو شهرة بعض الأماكن مثل الكنائس أو الصخور.. من المفارقات الغريبة أن أكثر الكائنات رعبًا لديهم تسمى "الترول" وهم كائنات على شكل أقزام، وكائنات أخرى هم "العمالقة"، فيبدو أنهم يخافون من كل ما طال وقصر !

حكايات قصيرة جدا مليئة بقصص عن العمالقة وقوم الترول, تلك المخلوقات الضخمة البشعة التي كنا نشاهدها احيانا في مسلسلات الكرتون ونحن صغار
ايضا هناك قصص عديدة عن أسباب بناء كنائس معينة
لاحظت انه في عدد من القصص المراة تاخذ دور شرير
هناك ايضا حكايات عن قوم اللابيين ويعرفهم الكتاب بانهم الاقوام المتنقلة من البشر التي تعيش في شمال البلاد
وترتبط قصصهم ايضا بالعمالقة وكيف يتغلبون عليهم
عدد من الحكايات يبدو انه كان يستخدم لهدف تربوي تجاه الاطفال كاخافتهم من سوء السلوك

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. It doesn't just give you the fairy tales and folktales; it also gives you some of the history behind them. It was written in the 1880s, but it seems just as relevant today.

أغلب الأساطير السويدية تدور حول العمالقة والأقزام
حكايا الأقزام ذكرتني بالسنافر xD

This is a collection of Swedish fairy tales organized by local. Some are better than others. For myself at least a lot of the parish/religious themed fairy tale anecdotes are sort of boring, while I rather enjoyed the fairy tales about mythical beings and peoples, such as Kate of Ysatter where I at least was fairly charmed and wondering just what sort of creature Kate was mythologically speaking. There is a huge assortment of mythical creatures, many that are often rather similar, so that I wish to hunt down at some point an anthology just on that. It is interesting to that creatures that are well known mythologically such as nymphs herein take on a very different tone than in their likely Grecian origin and spread there from. Over all, I’d recommend it for fans of fairy tale stories and especially for those wishing to learn
more about Swedish culture. It is probably not the best such book however and with a bit more work might have been a lot better. This book would be a lot better if it gave some facts and maps about the areas it describes.

مجموعة قصصية قصيرة وممتعة عن الترول والتومت وكادنيهاك ومخلوقات الفاتر وغيرها.. تملئُها المواعظ والقيم السامية، بالنسبة لي من الكتب التي توضع في خانة (فترة استراحة بين كتاب وآخر) خاصةً تلك الدسم منها.. اقرأها قبل النوم وحلق في سماء الخيال.

يحكي قصص خيال و خرافات تناقلوها شعب السويد
القصص غالباً لا عبرة فيها.. لكنها قصص خيالية أرى أنها مسلية ✨

هذه الأساطير تختلف تمامًا عن أساطير آينو الآسيوية التي قرأتها قبل بضع ساعات فهي تناسب الأطفال أكثر :P مما أعجبني حكاية عروس العملاق و مخزن الفات و هيرفيلكر كاهن فيكهولم
