Grimm's sprookjes

Rate this book
De sprookjes van de gebroeders Grimm, voor het eerst gepubliceerd onder de titel Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812-1822), is een verzameling sprookjes. De eerste editie bevatte 86 verhalen, de zevende en laatste 221. De eerste edities van de sprookjes van de gebroeders Grimm konden rekenen op felle kritiek vanwege hun kindonvriendelijke inhoud terwijl ze kinderverhalen werden genoemd. Veranderingen volgden. De kwaadaardige moeders van Sneeuwwitje en Hans en Grietje werden bijvoorbeeld later stiefmoeders. De verhalen moesten vrij zijn van seksuele connotaties, dus werd bijvoorbeeld de scene verwijderd waarin Repelsteeltje haar zwangerschap onthult als ze aan moeder Gothel vraagt waarom haar jurk steeds strakker rond haar buik komt te zitten. Toch werd de mate van geweld, die al behoorlijk was, alleen maar erger, in het bijzonder als het kwaderikken betrof. -

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 .

The worst book I have ever read. As a psychologist I find the stories sadistic and have real concerns about the ones that wrote this book and the ones enjoy reading it. Some stories were okay but too much blood, people cutting each others’ limbs and cooking it and even serving it to their parents. To preserve my subconscious, I dropped the book. Do not recommend. It is called a childrens book, but I would not give this book to any adult , let alone a child.
