Contes

Le texte intégral des contes de Grimm. Du roi grenouille aux Thalers du ciel, en passant par Cendrillon ou Blanche-Neige et Rouge-Rose. Ces cinquante contes, plus ou moins connus, furent choisis puis rassemblés par les frères Grimm pour perpétuer le souvenir des histoires que l'on se racontait le soir à la veillée. Ces récits exaltent la sagesse et l'amour fraternel et constituent l'un des fondements de notre culture occidentale. Les illustrations, toutes réalisées par la même personne, sont modernes et colorées, d'un style plutôt naïf et proches du texte. Un recueil qui ne manquera pas de plaire aux petits comme aux grands enfants, heureux de découvrir ou redécouvrir ces contes issus de la tradition orale allemande et parus en France dès 1824. Même les contes les plus connus de tous comme Cendrillon ou le Petit Chaperon Rouge sont bien rarement racontés dans leur version originale.

Contes de Grimm

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

It is said the Brothers Grimm opened up a world of goodwill with their stories, where heroes and heroines are truly rewarded, where giants and dwarfs and birds and animals are their friends. It is said, also, that Arthur Rackham has kept the fairy world alive for generations of children with his art. Here is a splendid combination of the two -- the best loved Grimms' fairy tales, adorned by an artist who was a master of fantasy.Arthur Rackham's illustrations for the Brothers Grimm brought him lasting fame. From the beautiful to the bizarre, from the weird to the wonderful, his fine line drawings are striking portrayals of the Grimm stories. This beautiful edition presents sixty stories and over sixty-five of Rackham's illustrations, including sixteen full-color plates.Timeless as entertainment, this is a story-time treasury for young and old alike.1 The Golden Bird2 Hans in Luck3 Jorinda and Joringel4 The Bremen Town Musicians5 Old Sultan6 The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean7 Briar Rose8 the Dog and the Sparrow9 The Twelve Dancing Princesses10 The Fisherman and His Wife11 The Wren and the Bear12 The Frog Prince13 The Cat and Mouse in Partnership14 The Goosegirl15 The Adventures of Chanticleer and Partlet16 Rapunzel17 Fundevogel18 The Valiant Trailor19 Hansel and Grethel20 The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage21 Mother Hulda22 Red Riding Hood23 The Robber Bridegroom24 Tom Thumb25 Rumpelstiltskin26 Clever Grethel27 The Old Man and His Grandson28 The Little Peasant29 Fred and Kate30 Sweetheart Roland31 Snowdrop32 The Pink33 Clever Elsa34 The Man Among the Thorns35 Ashenputtel36 The White Snake37 The Wolf and the Seven Kids38 The Queen Bee39 The Elves and the Shoemaker40 The Wolf and the Man41 The Turnip42 Clever Hans43 The Three Languages44 The Fox and the Cat45 The Four Clever Brothers46 The Lady and the Lion47 The Fox and the Horse48 The Blue Light49 The Raven50 The Golden Goose51 The Water of Life52 The Twelve Huntsmen53 The King of the Golden Mountain54 Doctor Know-All55 The Seven Ravens56 The Marriage of Mrs. Reynard57 The Salad58 The Youth Who Could Not Shudder59 King Thrushbeard60 Iron Hans
