Kat Menschik

»Die besten Märchen, die es gibt.« Jacob GrimmDas neue Werk aus Kat Menschiks Reihe der Lieblingsbücher. Kleine Puppen locken Königssöhne ins hohe Gras, Handwerker überlisten mithilfe von Nüssen den Teufel und ein Huhn rettet die Erde vor dem Vergehen. Eine Welt jenseits des Alltages wartet darauf, neu entdeckt zu werden. Was Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm für Deutschland waren, waren Peter Christen Asbjørnsen und Jørgen Moe für Norwegen. Die Seele eines Landes ist fest verankert in den Geschichten, die sich seine Bewohner über Generationen hinweg abends erzählten. Sie erweckten mit ihren Erzählungen eine phantastische und zugleich raue Welt zum Leben, die einerseits geprägt war von Moral und Sittenlehre und andererseits von Sehnsüchten und den Träumen der einfachen Menschen. Nördlich des Skagerraks entstand dabei ein Universum, mystisch, makaber, faszinierend und so reich an sprachgewaltigen Bildern, dass sie auch heute noch Lesende sofort in ihren Bann zu ziehen vermögen. In diesem Werk gestaltet Kat Menschik für eine Auswahl ihrer Lieblingsmärchen einzigartige, wunderschöne Illustrationen. So entsteht eine Reise in die unweite Vergangenheit, die die Grenzen zwischen Wirklichkeit und Fiktion für einen Augenblick aufhebt und den Leser Teil der Sagen eines entfernten und doch so nah wirkenden zauberhaften Kosmos sein lässt.

Die Puppe im Grase

"Inspiriert von den Gebrüdern Grimm bereiste der Forstmeister Peter Christen Asbjørnsen ganz Norwegen um Volkserzählungen sammeln und aufzeichnen zu können. Mit seinem Ehrgeiz, diese so originalgetreu wie möglich wiederzugeben, erwarb er sich bedeutende Verdienste um den Erhalt der norwegischen Sprache. In Norwegen kennt ihn jedes Kind - sein Porträt prangt auf dem norwegischen 50-Kronen-Geldschein." Redaktion Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

De tre bukkene Bruse

Soria Moria Castle is a Norwegian fairy tale made famous by Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe. The hero cannot hold his tongue at the right time, and as a result loses the princess for whom he had so strenuously fought. The recognition of Halvor by his mother by the flickering light of the hearth-fire, in whose ashes Halvor was always digging when a boy, is touchingly told.

The Greatest Nordic Holiday Stories of All Time

A Very Scandinavian Christmas

A new, definitive English translation of the celebrated story collection regarded as a landmark of Norwegian literature and culture The extraordinary folktales collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe began appearing in Norway in 1841. Over the next two decades the publication of subsequent editions under the title Norske folkeeventyr made the names Asbjørnsen and Moe synonymous with Norwegian storytelling traditions. Tiina Nunnally’s vivid translation of their monumental collection is the first new English translation in more than 150 years—and the first ever to include all sixty original tales. Magic and myth inhabit these pages in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. The clever and fearless boy Ash Lad often takes center stage as he ingeniously breaks spells and defeats enemies to win half the kingdom. These stories, set in Norway’s majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by Asbjørnsen and Moe—now translated into an English that is as finely tuned to the modern ear as it is true to the original Norwegian. Included here—for the very first time in English—are Asbjørnsen and Moe’s Forewords and Introductions to the early Norwegian editions of the tales. Asbjørnsen gives us an intriguing glimpse into the actual collection process and describes how the stories were initially received, both in Norway and abroad. Equally fascinating are Moe’s views on how central characters might be interpreted and his notes on the regions where each story was originally collected. Nunnally’s informative Translator’s Note places the tales in a biographical, historical, and literary context for the twenty-first century. The Norwegian folktales of Asbjørnsen and Moe are timeless stories that will entertain, startle, and enthrall readers of all ages.
