Sinossi
Nella prefazione alla prima edizione di "Kinder-und Hausmdrchen" i fratelli Grimm definiscono i loro testi "innocenti fiabe per la casa". Difficile crederci vista la truculenza che spesso trabocca da questa raccolta: vendette, malefici, avvelenamenti, poteri occulti, boschi fitti in cui sembra impossibile ritrovare il sentiero perso, atmosfere oscure e tenebrose. Eppure, in queste fiabe riunite e riviste dai due filologi tedeschi, la purezza e l'innocenza infantili sono sempre presenti in quel magico mondo popolato da streghe, gnomi, draghi, fate e diavoli, e si intrecciano con naturalezza agli episodi sinistri. La grande forza liberatoria delle fiabe dei Grimm sta nell'immancabile e crudelissima punizione del "cattivo" e nella rivalsa dei deboli sugli oppressori: una giustizia rigida che non lascia sfumature tra bene e male e che ben rappresenta l'immaginario dissacrante dei Grimm. "Biancaneve", "Cappuccetto rosso", "Pollicino", "Hansel e Gretel", "Cenerentola": sono solo alcune delle "fiabe popolari" elevate dai Grimm a classici della letteratura.

Die Advents- und Weihnachtszeit ist für mich auch eine Zeit der Märchen. Ich liebe Märchen, manche natürlich mehr, manche auch weniger. Aber die meisten Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm gefallen mir eigentlich, und vor allen Dingen sind sie auch immer wie eine kleine Reise zurück in die Kindheit. Ich weiß Leggi tutto
I was originally was going to give this a 3 because it is uneven strange, and sometimes surprisingly amoral, but then i realized how much I acutally had to say about it, and just how much I enjoyed reading these goofy stories.
