Download The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition AudioBook Free
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm shared their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, accompanied by a second level in 1815, that they had no idea that such tales as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would end up being the most celebrated on the planet. Yet few people today are aware of nearly all tales from the two early quantities, since within the next four decades the Grimms would release six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, are newly translated and helped bring together in one beautiful audiobook. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key", wondrous worlds unfold - heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals overcome the strong, and simple bumpkins verify themselves not simple in the end. Esteemed story book scholar Jack port Zipes offers accessible translations that wthhold the spare description and interesting storytelling design of the originals. Indeed, this is exactly what makes the stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique - they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral customs, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished choices of stories. Zipes' introduction provides important historical framework, and the reserve includes the Grimms' prefaces and notes. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless tales to a whole new generation of readers.
