Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. During the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Sch nwerth traversed the depths of the Black Forest and scaled the heights of the Bavarian Alps, searching out and recording new fairy tales with such dedication that his contemporaries the Brothers Grimm declared, "Nowhere in the whole of Germany is anyone collecting folklore so accurately, thoroughly and with such a sensitive ear." But except for a small portion of the tales collected in an obscure 19th-century volume, Sch nwerth's works were lost--until a few years ago, when a researcher unearthed thirty boxes of manuscripts in a municipal archive in Germany.Now, for the first time, Sch nwerth's lost fairytales are presented in English. Here are startling, chilling, and enchanting new tales- a girl turns herself into a pond to escape a witch, only to have her pursuer drink her down; a prince is transformed into a dung beetle, condemned to filthy labor until his true love's kiss saves him; and King Goldenlocks undergoes an adventure that is part "The Frog King" and part "Snow White." And Sch nwerth's dedication to accuracy--he did not embellish the stories he heard, but set them down on paper as they were told--reveals new dimensions to classic favorites- Jodl, a young prince, overcomes his revulsion to a female frog and finds it transformed into a beautiful princess. Stripped of the literary flourishes and agenda of the Grimm brothers, these stories are now revealed in their authentic oral forms--with the traditional roles of heroes and heroines upended, and the darker details that the Grimms sanitized restored--revolutionizing our understanding of the classic fairy tale.Translated and edited by Maria Tatar, the eminent Harvard fairytale scholar, along with Erika Eichenseer, director of the Franz Xaver von Sch nwerth Society, this collection reveals the original, irresistible uncanniness of a hallowed literary form.For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

And for the "Cinderfellas" in these stories, which turn our understanding ofgender infairy tales on its head.With this volume, the holy trinity of fairy tales-the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen-becomes a quartet.In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Sch nwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountains of northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Sch nwerth's work was lost-until a few years ago, when thirty boxes of manu-scripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. Now, for the first time, Sch nwerth's lost fairy tales are available in English. Violent, dark, and full of action, and upending the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragon-slaying heroes, these more than seventy stories bring us closer than ever to the unadorned oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted, revolutionizing our understanding of a hallowed genre.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
