Short Stories Fairy Tales

Die schönsten Sagen von Riesen und Zwergen, vom Rübezahl bis zu Heinz Hütlein. Der Volksmund weiß: Riesen leben im Gebirge, und werden sie wütend, werfen sie mit Felsbrocken. Zwerge schürfen ebenfalls dort nach Gold und Edelsteinen. Und eine besondere Art der kleinen Wesen schützt das Haus und hilft den Guten bei der Arbeit. Zumindest in Köln, wo es "vordem / mit Heinzelmännchen so bequem" war! Wie traurig, dass mit dem Glauben an sie auch all die Wunderwesen verschwunden sind.

The North Wind's fearsome reputation precedes him: "I haunt the human walrus hunters that live in my land. They are cautious of me - for I frostbite them, kick them about like shuttlecocks. I blow them into deep crevasses - then I crush them with my mighty icebergs! For pleasure, I freeze their smashed bodies and like jewels of red sapphire, they sink to decorate the bottom of my cold sea!" The New Tempest is Hans Christian Andersen's fable reimagined as a fearsome storm that aims to wreak havoc on the world below, today. The New Tempest takes the classic fantasy adventure and paints it with a story instantly epic, and yet, all its own. In the midst of a land torn by a treacherous war, a father must protect his daughter from the storm, and only one being can aid his desperate cause: the mysterious South Wind, dwelling in secrecy, who truly wields power over life, death, and destiny.

Publicados en 1697 en Francia con el título de Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye, los ocho relatos incluidos en este libro han sido objeto de incontables versiones y adaptaciones, además de haber sufrido numerosas oleadas de censura en función de la cambiante pacatería del momento. El resultado, recortado y desvirtuado, es un somnífero para niños pequeños, que ha empalagado a generaciones de lectores adultos y traicionado, en la letra y en el espíritu, a la pluma del maravilloso Charles Perrault (Francia 1628-1703), maestro del misterio y el humor negro.

Kein Fest ohne Blumen! In seinem Märchen Die Blumen der kleinen Ida verdreht Hans Christian Andersen jedoch das Selbstverständliche und lässt die Blumen selber rauschende Feste feiern.
