Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

A scholar of fairy tales, Maria Tatar, provides a fascinating introduction about the history and meaning of the stories assembled by the Brothers Grimm. She writes, for example, "We now know that the stories collected in the nineteenth-century folktale anthologies ...had their origins in an irreverent peasant culture that arose in conscious opposition to the feudal state's ruling class. By overdoing it in the realm of storytelling, these narrators were able to alleviate--if only temporarily--some of the tedium that marked the daily life of their audience ... [These tales] can be seen as the ancestors of our urban legends about vanishing hitchhikers and cats accidentally caught in the dryer or as the preliterate equivalents of tabloid tales describing headless bodies found in topless bars. But in many ways, it is the horror film to which the matter and manner of these folktales has most conspicuously migrated. Like horror films, folktales trade in the sensational--breaking taboos and enacting the forbidden with uninhibited energy."

The text of the 19 tales in this collection is based on the 1822 edition of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Nursery and Household Tales) by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm--before the tales were expurgated and rewritten to make them more "suitable" for children. It's bound in a handsome faux-antique format, and lavishly illustrated by Tracy Arah Dockray (15 full-page color paintings, and a black-and-white drawing on nearly every page). Most of the tales will be unfamiliar to American and English readers, who may be surprised by the graphic descriptions of incest, murder, mutilation, and cannibalism. Chronicle Books has done us a service in helping restore to our adult culture these vivid, evocative folktales. --Fiona Webster

Kurzbeschreibung

Murder, kidnapping, cruel punishment, and violent revenge -- these are not the bedtime stories mummy used to read. Grimm's Grimmest presents nineteen of the original, unsanitized, unholy tales as they were first collected by the Brothers Grimm -- all fiendishly illustrated in full color. Grimm's Grimmest has the irresistible look and feel of a creaky old leatherbound volume, perhaps discovered in a forgotten trunk or dusty attic. With aged paper and a leathery stamped case, this delightfully shocking collection harkens back to a time when travelers risked roasting or worse and bad manners could yield frightful consequences. From the true horror of Aschenputtel (the original Cinderella story) to Rapunzel's dark secret, here are the authentic stories born long ago in the land of the Black Forest, at a time when fairy tales were not necessarily for children.

Don't believe the hype. 22. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
From the editorial review: "Most of the tales will be unfamiliarto American and English readers, who may be surprised by the graphicdescriptions of murder, mutilation, and cannibalism"

The "graphic descriptions" of the aforementioned evils are grossly overrated. They are merely stated or less yet, alluded to. Even when described, the artistry is such that the reader has difficulty connecting with the text as the descriptions are not picturesque but instead, one dimensional.

Based upon the editorial review, I expected that I would be chilled and thrilled from here to doomsday. Hardly. This was a horror free read, after which I slept like a lamb. This book was the equivalent of a kiddie ride at Six Flags.

However, while it did not deliver the promised goods, I did find it appropriate for a very young adult with whom you are interested in rekindling a love of stories and reading. While tame for adult standards, it might prove to be an odd twist on the traditional *G* rated nursery fare, and could possibly provoke a discussion on the differences between these tales and ones with which they are more familiar.

I thought this book wouold have been much much different. I thought I would be scared beyond the point of being scared. I was dead wrong. The story read like any other fairy tales book was reading. I could not believe the words "For Grown-Ups" were actually printed on them...

THe book was a let down. I'm just glad it was a fast read.

At least they were readable and the style of writing is more appropriate for young readers. And by that I don't mean these weren't readable because of their content, but rather the way they were written, that is not very enticingly or intriguingly at all. Basically this read as an allegory for something I already knew: that people can be cruel, violent and otherwise awful. And where's all the grim stuff the book was crowing about. Sure, there was lots of blood shed, but most of it was either relatively mild or came out rather alright in the end. I was expecting horror stories galore but what I got was the sense of heavily toned-down reading. A kid could read this stuff hardly batting an eye (as the intro itself seems to suggest). Even the sexual references are oblique enough that children would pretty much gloss them over (such as Rapunzel asking why her clothes don't fit anymore). Lastly, that Hans and Grethel story was absurd beyond words.
