'Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812/15) Teil 1' Summary
The first edition of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales) offers a glimpse into the raw and unfiltered world of German folk tales. This collection, published in 1812/15, presents stories in their original form, untamed by the later revisions that aimed to appease a more bourgeois audience. In these early versions, we encounter tales like Rapunzel, where the princess is depicted as becoming pregnant, and Hänsel and Gretel, who are abandoned by their own mother, not a stepmother. The collection also features stories with a Huguenot background, like The Cat in Boots, which were later omitted. The inclusion of such uncensored tales, often highlighting darker themes and societal realities, provides a unique perspective on the diverse and rich cultural heritage of Germany in the early 19th century. The book stands as a testament to the enduring power of oral storytelling and the evolving nature of cultural narratives.Book Details
