Пълно описание

A just-discovered trove of fairy tales by a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm--now for the first time in English With this volume, the holy trinity of tellers of fairy tales--the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen--becomes a quartet. In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schonwerth traversed the depths of the Black Forest and scaled the heights of the Bavarian Alps to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Schonwerth's work was 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, Schonwerth'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, they bring us closer than ever to the unadorned oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted, revolutionizing our understanding of a hallowed genre.
