Irische Elfenmärchen

Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, and Snow White are among the jewels we owe to the German brothers Grimm, who began in the first decade of the 19th century to seek out and listen to village storytellers. The best-loved of the tales they discovered are now brought together with the marvelous pictures that in 1900 first established the reputation of one of the greatest children's illustrators of all time, Arthur Rackham.

Le loup et les sept petits chevreaux

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm was born in January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. Just over a year later, in February 24, 1786, his little brother Wilhelm Carl Grimm was born. Their father was a lawyer, and they had six more brothers and one sister. In 1802, Jacob went to university to study law at the University of Marburg. As always, his little brother followed him, and entered law school in 1803. During their university years they began to collect folk and fairy tales. Folklore is stories that have been passed down from parents to children, by word of mouth, but at that time many had not been published in books. The Grimms were especially interested in stories that included Germany and German culture. Jacob and Wilhelm published their first book of fairy tales - "Children's and Household Tales" - in 1812. There were 86 folktales. Readers were so happy to see the stories they had been told as children all collected together that the book was a success. In the next volume of "Grimm's Fairy Tales," the brothers added 70 more stories. It went on growing like this for six more editions. Finally, the book contained over 200 stories! It is probably the best-known work of German literature. Even if you don't know the Brothers Grimm, you definitely know a Grimm fairy tale. If only all brothers were as close as the Brothers Grimm. They were always together - even when Wilhelm married his wife Henriette, Jacob continued to live with them! The Brothers Grimm were both professors and scholars. In fact, Jacob Grimm is considered to be the father of the study of German history. They both taught as professors in Germany's capitol, at the University of Berlin. They became known throughout Europe as experts on anything to do with folktales, language, and anything German. They were so into books that they both became librarians as well! During their lifetimes they published many more very important books, including "German Mythology," "Old German Tales," "The History of the German Language," and even the German Dictionary. Grimm fairy tales include stories of kings, magic, and talking animals. Even though the stories are sometimes scary, fairy tales allow us to work through our fears. They often teach us a lesson about moral values, and right and wrong

«Une chose qui a, d’une façon si diverse et toujours renouvelée, charmé, instruit, ému les hommes, porte en soi sa raison d’être nécessairement et vient nécessairement de cette source éternelle où baigne toute vie. Ce n’est peut-être qu’une petite goutte de rosée retenue au creux d’une feuille, mais cette goutte étincelle des feux de la première aurore». Ainsi Wilhelm Grimm nous rappelle-t-il que le conte, ce court récit populaire et merveilleux, n’a le souci d’aucun public, d’aucun temps ni d’aucun lieu. En publiant en 1812 leur célèbre recueil, dont Armel Guerne donne ici une traduction remarquable, les frères Grimm se sont emparés de traditions orales pour fixer par écrit une imagerie folklorique dont le pouvoir d’évocation n’a, aujourd’hui encore, rien perdu de sa puissance. Le second volume de la présente édition rassemble plus de cent contes dans lesquels nains, princesses, ogres et géants incarnent avec humour et cruauté toute la diversité des rapports humains.
