Das Nibelungenlied ist ein mittelalterliches Heldenepos. Es entstand zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts und wurde in der damaligen Volkssprache Mittelhochdeutsch geschrieben. Das Nibelungenlied galt lange als Nationalepos der Deutschen. Das Nibelungenlied lässt sich in zwei Teile gliedern: Im ersten Teil steht Kriemhilds erste Ehe mit Siegfried und Siegfrieds Tod, im zweiten ihre Rache im Mittelpunkt. Das räumliche Umfeld ist das Burgundenreich am Rhein, sowie (im zweiten Teil) Südostdeutschland und das Donaugebiet des heutigen Österreichs und Ungarns. (aus wikipedia.de) ····· 1036143250

····· lezzter Preis 1.49€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray It is well for the fairy-loving public that Mr. Andrew Lang should go bravely on publishing his delightful Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow Fairy Books as if the cry of ` too many books ` had never been uttered. The juvenile clientele whom he addresses is an ever-increasing one and is as many-colored as Joseph`s or as Parsifal`s coat. So skilful a caterer as this keen-eyed Scotchman is not often found: an intellectual gourmand of the first water, long since awarded the cordon bleu in the fine art of fairy-tales, he knows what his public likes-the exacting, appreciative boy-and-girl public whose instinctive cleverness tells them what is good and what is not. His sympathetic nature makes all children congenial to him, and he has remained child enough, despite Homeric disquisitions and scientific fads in folk-lore, to pick out with infallible taste just what they like. ` The Yellow Fairy Book` is full of tales from uncouth tongues like Polish, Hungarian, Russian and Red Indian, but also sprinkled with old favorites like Andersen`s ` Tin Soldier ` and Grimm`s `Iron Stone.` A glimpse or two from the fanciful French `Cabinet des Fées ` is also to be found in this capital collection, which is prefaced by a good-natured but sharp-tongued stricture on the false position of Mr. Laurence Gomme and his rather portentous Folk-Lore Society.

Much as he writes for their elders, he never forgets the little people, and as regularly as Christmas comes round he sends them a literary gift. The Red True Story Book seems interesting to one of the untutored elders, whose travels no longer take him into fairyland although there will doubtless be plenty of boys and girls to disagree with such a judgment. To these the realm of Prince Prigio will be far more real than the South Africa of today or the France of the fifteenth century truth is so much stranger than fiction, and these tales of heroism and self-sacrifice are so much more romantic than any manufactured stories. What could be more splendid, more thrilling, than this story of `Wilson`s Last Fight,` as told here by Mr. Rider Haggard. The magnificent mettle of these men, and their brave acceptance of their fate, called forth from the Zulu chieftain who slaughtered them the tribute that ` they were men who died like men, men whose fathers were men.` This human document is followed by Mr. Lang`s narrative of the `` Life and Death of Joan the Maid,` and the nobility of her disinterested devotion to her country is vividly brought out. Aside from these, the stories for the most part are unfamiliar but eminently worthy of enduring fame. A few tell of heroes whose deeds are mentioned in the histories that children study, but without the detail that makes them picturesque and vivid. For the purpose of bringing these stories to life, Mr. Lang`s compilation is valuable. Mr. Henry J. Ford illustrates the book with many spirited drawings.

····· lezzter Preis 1.49€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray With `The Pink Fairy Book` Mr. Lang has exhausted the primary colors without coming to an end of his store of fairytales. This time he has gone further afield, though without finding much that is new. Japan yields a few and other sources which we do not remember in the earlier books have been drawn upon. Generally, however, it is from the folklore of European nations, and from that most admirable of story-tellers, Hans Christian Andersen, that we get the best things. It is true that, as Mr. Lang remarks, Andersen ` wants to ` point a moral` as well as `adorn a tale,` whereas the true fairy-story should not have any more intelligible moral than that it is a great virtue to be the youngest son of three, and a still greater to be the youngest of seven. Not the less, however, is it true that, on the whole, these stories are on the side of goodness and kindness. It is difficult to make a choice among these good things. But perhaps, ` How the Hermit Helped to Win the King`s Daughter,` is as good as any. Among the few outlandish stories, `Wischimataro and the Turtle ` may be mentioned.

····· lezzter Preis 1.49€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The Fairy Book Series is further enriched by the addition of this latest volume, which is quite as gorgeous as the preceding ones-though the author might well be supposed to have exhausted his supply of colors and fairy tales. Mr. Lang, after traveling the world over to collect stories, asks why the stories of the remotest people resemble each other. Fortunately, he answers the question himself. `Of course, in the immeasurable past, they have been carried about by conquering races, and learned by conquering races from vanquished peoples. Slaves carried far from home brought their stories with them into captivity. Wanderers, travelers, shipwrecked men, merchants, and wives stolen from alien tribes have diffused the stories gipsies and Jews have peddled them about, Roman soldiers of many different races, moved here and there about the Empire, have trafficked in them. From the remotest days men have been wanderers, and wherever they went their stories accompanied them.` ``The Story of the Hero Makowa` begins in the good old way, `once upon a time` and the temptation to follow the hero Is irresistible even though he seeks a deep black pool where the crocodiles lived. He makes giants shrink, and claps them into a bag which he carries easily because he Increases in size and strength with every encouuter with an enemy. Perhaps the author intends to point a moral and he certainly adorns the tale with incredible deeds of adventure. `Ian, The Soldier`s Son` has a wonderful career in his search for the daughters of Grianaig. Magic transformation takes place on every page. Thus, a brown-haired youth is changed into a raven, and back again to his own self and a beautiful maiden whom the wicked enchanter had turned Into a horse is released from the spell through the courage of the soldier`s son. `The Ugly Duckling,` and `The Two Caskets,` are familiar titles, but the sparrows who twittered `Ashes! ashes!` are new features, as are also the talking doves in `The Enchanted Wreath.` The cruel stepmother figures as usual, and her punishment is in proportion to her crime. The artist is almost as great a magician as the author, and his pictures are so bewitching that even without the colors they would hold one spell-bound. The Princess Bella-Flor,-a shimmer of beauty, silks, and gems-fills one side of the page and the other elements of the story, from the gallant knight on a noble charger to a speckled hen such as may be seen in any farm-yard, are assembled in the remaining space. Mr. Lang realizes that children are discerning judges, and just to the point of severity so he is very careful to punish the guilty and reward the good, and nearly every tale ends in peace and happiness.

····· lezzter Preis 1.49€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray First and foremost, always and forever, among tales for children come the fairy tales. What were childhood without the fairy tale That child who has never wandered through the magic gardens of Fairyland is unfortunate indeed. But that child does not exist, for the mind and heart of every child, even all unaided, will make for itself a fairyland out of anything and nothing. But the art of writing fairy tales seems to be another thing that has vanished with the vanished childhood of the race. The best fairy tales are always the old ones, stories that were never really written, but just grew in the telling as they passed down through generations of fireside evenings. They were told or enjoyed by grown men and women in an earlier, more naive age, and they never lose their appeal to the child in us as to the children around us now. As to new fairy stories, well, Mr. Andrew Lang, the untiring editor, who makes it possible to unearth new-old stories every year and dress them out in a new colour of raiment for the Christmas tree, says some very unkind things of them in his latest offering, The Lilac Fairy Book . `The three hundred and sixty-five authors who try to write new fairy tales are very tiresome,` he says. `Their fairies try to be funny and fail, or they try to preach and succeed. Real fairies never preach or talk slang-nobody can write a new fairy tale the thing is impossible.` The tenor of Mr. Lang`s reproach of modern writers of fairy tales is that they attempt to write just for children and therefore fail. Possibly he may be right! But we will forgive him his feeling against the writers who prefer to write rather than to edit, for the sake of the fine new-old stories he has found for us here. It is really astonishing how Mr. Lang goes on unearthing so many new stories-new-old is what we mean- every year. Some of the stories in this new book have come from Ireland, some from the Highlands of Scotland, some from wild Wales. Some from far off Asia, others from Portugal still others from the frozen North. The majority of them have what the true fairy story should always have-enough of the marvellous to keep us guessing, enough of humour to show us that we aren`t expected really to believe it all, and the delightful disregard of conventional behaviour which characterises the doings in Fairyland. For if it were not so, why go to Fairyland at all The equipment of the book is as dainty as usual, even more so if possible, on account of the delicacy of the chosen colour. And a word of sincere praise is due the charming illustrations by H. J. Ford. If the imagination of the modern writer cannot achieve a new fairy tale, the modern painter can at least understand the old stories and awaken them to new life for us.

It is true that the lives of the saints are an inexhaustible treasure-house for all that will interest and stimulate children and that the same treasure-house is too seldom drawn upon. Its riches are, comparatively speaking, little known to our children or, indeed, to our older folks. A book that taps this vein of Catholic inheritance is: The Book of Saints and Heroes, by Mrs. Lang, and edited by the late Andrew Lang. Needless to say the work is admirably well written, and no child, even though tired, would think of sleep while the story of Jerome and the Lion, or Francis and the Wolf of Agobio, was being read. Here is all that will arouse the imagination, fascinate the mind, and instill that romantic love of heroic deeds which, in turn, is so powerful a stimulus to virtue. The book is most richly and tastefully illustrated with page drawings, many of them beautifully colored.

····· lezzter Preis 2.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray All the stories about Princes and Princesses in this book are true stories out of old books of history. There are some children who make life difficult by saying, first that stories about fairies are true, and that they like fairies and next that they do not like true stories about real people, who lived long ago. I am quite ready to grant that there really are such things as fairies, because, though I never saw a fairy, any more than I have seen the little animals which lecturers call molecules and ions, still I have seen people who have seen fairies - truthful people. Now I never knew a lecturer who ventured to say that he had seen an ion or a molecule. It is well known, and written in a true book, that the godmother of Joan of Arc had seen fairies, and nobody can suppose that such a good woman would tell her godchild what was not true - for example, that the squire of the parish was in love with a fairy and used to meet her in the moonlight beneath a beautiful tree. In fact, if we did not believe in fairy stories, who would care to read them Yet only too many children dislike to read true stories, because the people in them were real, and the things actually happened. Is not this very strange This book is fully illustrated and annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
