This collection returns the fairy tale to its original nature - unbridled, dark, sincere. Here are collected unadapted, harsh versions of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales - such as they existed before they were turned into smooth children's literature. We are not talking about retellings, but about an attempt to reproduce the spirit and flesh of real folklore: with pain, fear, punishment and - sometimes - without mercy. Some fairy tales have been translated into Russian especially for this edition and are published for the first time. Along with them - restored early versions of more famous plot...
This collection returns the fairy tale to its original nature - unbridled, dark, sincere. Here are collected unadapted, harsh versions of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales - such as they existed before they were turned into smooth children's literature. We are not talking about retellings, but about an attempt to reproduce the spirit and flesh of real folklore: with pain, fear, punishment and - sometimes - without mercy. Some fairy tales have been translated into Russian especially for this edition and are published for the first time. Along with them - restored early versions of more famous plots, which sound different here: without deliberate fairy-tale cloyingness, without the obligatory happy ending, without moralizing straightforwardness. These are texts that do not lull - they disturb, pierce and do not let you forget that the folk tale was once the voice of life itself. This collection contains parables about guilt and retribution, about power and submission, about pain and mercy. But there are also tales about fools, wanderers, witches, orphans, idiots and spirits, who represent not so much magic as the truth, sometimes cruel, but always alive. The visual design of the book enhances the effect: here you will find rare 19th-century engravings from old German editions and illustrations by Arthur Rackham, an artist who, like no one else, knew how to convey the disturbing beauty of a folk tale. This is not a book for children. This is a book for those who are ready to return to the source. For those who are not afraid to hear the voice of the past - without embellishment, without filters, without saving endings. These are tales in which you can't hide from the sun.
