These folktales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are among the most memorable stories in European culture - conjuring up a world of spells and bewitchment, outwitted villains and cruel stepmothers, animal bridegrooms and enchanted princesses. Tales such as 'Hansel and Gretel', 'Little Red Cape' and 'The Robber Bridegroom' depict the dangers lurking in dark forests, and others, including 'Briar-Rose' and 'Snow White' show young beauties punished by unforgiving sorceresses. Other tales include 'Thickasathumb', which portrays a childless young couple whose wish for a baby is granted in an unexpected way, while 'The Frog King' tells of a rash promise made by a haughty princess to share her bed with a frog, and a fortune is won in 'The Blue Lamp', when a soldier gains a kingdom with the help of a magic lamp. David Luke's vibrant translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the key themes of the tales and the literary background of the Brothers Grimm. This edition also includes new further reading and a chronology, with notes and a glossary. Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) are nowadays simply known as 'the brothers Grimm'. Both brothers were state-appointed librarians in Kassel, and later members of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Berlin, where Frederick William IV of Prussia had invited them to settle. Two of Germany's greatest scholars, Jacob is regarded as the founder of the scientific study of the German language, and with his brother Wilhelm initiated the Deutsches Wörterbuch, a dictionary of all words in modern High German since 1450. If you enjoyed the Selected Tales of the Brothers Grimm, you might like Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, also available in Penguin Classics.

With the words “Once upon a time,” the Brothers Grimm transport readers to a timeless realm where witches, giants, princesses, kings, fairies, goblins, and wizards fall in love, try to get rich, quarrel with their neighbors, and have magical adventures of all kinds—and in the process reveal essential truths about human nature. When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore—and the hard life of European peasants was reflected in the tales they discovered. However, once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children. A cornerstone of Western culture since the early 1800s, Grimm’s Fairy Tales is now beloved the world over. This collection of Grimms’ fairy tales includes such classics as “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “Hansel and Grethel,” “Rapunzel,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “The Frog Prince,” as well as others that are no less delightful.

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their "Children's and Household Tales" in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, " The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezso. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and engaging storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction gives important historical context, and the book includes the Grimms' prefaces and notes. A delight to read, "The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers."

The result is a Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable.

Nella prefazione alla prima edizione di "Kinder-und Hausmdrchen" i fratelli Grimm definiscono i loro testi "innocenti fiabe per la casa". Difficile crederci vista la truculenza che spesso trabocca da questa raccolta: vendette, malefici, avvelenamenti, poteri occulti, boschi fitti in cui sembra impossibile ritrovare il sentiero perso, atmosfere oscure e tenebrose. Eppure, in queste fiabe riunite e riviste dai due filologi tedeschi, la purezza e l'innocenza infantili sono sempre presenti in quel magico mondo popolato da streghe, gnomi, draghi, fate e diavoli, e si intrecciano con naturalezza agli episodi sinistri. La grande forza liberatoria delle fiabe dei Grimm sta nell'immancabile e crudelissima punizione del "cattivo" e nella rivalsa dei deboli sugli oppressori: una giustizia rigida che non lascia sfumature tra bene e male e che ben rappresenta l'immaginario dissacrante dei Grimm.l'ebook contiene le seguenti fiabe:Storia di uno, Giovannin Senzapaura, che partì di casa per imparare cos'è la pelle d'ocaIl lupo e i sette caprettiniCenerentolaCappuccetto RossoI quattro musicanti di BremaMignolinoIl pellegrinaggio di MignolettoElsa la furbaBiancaneve e i sette naniGianni e la felicitàLa contadinella furbaLa figlia di MariaIl re dei ranocchiI dodici fratelliFratellino e sorellinaI tre omini della forestaLe tre filatriciGiannino e GhitinaRosaspina, ossia la bella addormentata nel boscoRumpelstilzchenIl cane e il passeroMillepelliIl forasiepe e l'orsoGente furba
