About the author

German philologist and folklorist Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm in 1822 formulated Grimm's Law, the basis for much of modern comparative linguistics. With his brother Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786-1859), he collected Germanic folk tales and published them as Grimm's Fairy Tales (1812-1815).

Indo-European stop consonants, represented in Germanic, underwent the regular changes that Grimm's Law describes; this law essentially states that Indo-European p shifted to Germanic f, t shifted to th, and k shifted to h. Indo-European b shifted to Germanic p, d shifted to t, and g shifted to k. Indo-European bh shifted to Germanic b, dh shifted to d, and gh shifted to g.

This jurist and mythologist also authored the monumental German Dictionary and his Deutsche Mythologie .

داستان هشتاد و هفتم از هم‌خوانی برادران گریم
این چه طرز دعا کردنه؟
گریم‌ها می‌خواستند داستان اخلاقی بنویسند زیاد خوب نمینوشتن‌ها. درسته داستانه طولانی تر بود و وقت برا پرداختن به جزییات و داستان بیشتر داشت اما زیاد دوستش نداشتم.

The original tale is much better but also darker then the version kids see.

It is different but not that different from what you might remember from first hearing this tale as a kid.

The plot here are very good but also dark which is the mix which I personally like a lot.

The writing style here was very old and you could feel the vibe of old the Europe which was amazing for me.

A variation of the old tale about how God (or, sometimes, gods) go to Earth to travel, and wind up seeking hospitality. As is true to form, the rich man turns God away, but the poor man and his wife greet God with open arms and hearts, providing meals to the best of their abilities and even giving Him their own bed while they sleep on straw. In return, God grants them three wishes. Their wishes are humble, and the Lord even has to prompt them into wishing for a nicer house. When the rich man realizes what is going on, he rues his decision- and his regrets don't stop.

Jacob Grimm, alongside his brother Wilhelm, is renowned for compiling "Grimm's Fairy Tales," a collection of German folktales. This book is a captivating journey into the heart of folklore, presenting a mixture of enchanting and sometimes dark stories that have fascinated readers for generations. Grimm's work is not just a mere collection of tales; it's a profound exploration of the human condition, morals, and the cultural heritage of Germany. The stories range from the well-loved "Cinderella" and "Snow White" to the less known but equally intriguing tales. Each story is a masterpiece of fantasy, imbued with timeless themes and moral lessons, making this book a valuable treasure for both young and adult readers. Jacob Grimm's contribution through this compilation has left an indelible mark on literature and continues to inspire the imagination of readers worldwide.
