Ludwig Emil Grimm Books

Ludwig Emil Grimm ist der bekannte Unbekannte, der Malerbruder neben den Märchenbrüdern Jacob und Wilhelm. Er ist eine prägende Figur der deutschen Romantik, die wir gerade wiederentdecken. Der zeichnende, malende Autor und der erzählende Maler Ludwig Emil Grimm ist wiederzuentdecken - besser: überhaupt erst zu entdecken. Ludwig Emil Grimm ist der Glücksfall eines gleich doppelten Chronisten - in Wort und Bild. Er hat unser Bildgedächtnis all der herausragenden Gestalten der Goethe-Zeit und der Romantik begründet - Clemens Brentano, Bettine von Arnim, Achim von Arnim, Heinrich Heine und viele andere hat er festgehalten, in Zeichnungen, Stichen, Radierungen und Gemälden. Und daneben hat er sich auch den Menschen seiner Zeit gewidmet, Soldaten, Bettlern und Straßenmusikanten. Er ist der illustrierende Chronist des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts

Mit ungewöhnlichen Holzschnitten und Holzstichen illustrierte, zeitlos schöne Auswahl.

""Remember the rules of the woods," says Mrs. Red Riding Hood. "Keep to the path and DON'T TALK TO WOLVES!" But Little Red Riding Hood forgets the rules and now she must outwit the wolf."--Back cover.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender young creature! what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both."' Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original stories that has softened over time.

The most beautiful fairy tales by H.C. Andersen. The life of Hans Christian Andersen reads like a fairy tale itself—he counted Charles Dickens among his friends and admirers, and European princes valued his company. Through determination, talent, fortunate circumstances, and an overflowing imagination, he carved his name into world literature, rising from impoverished beginnings. A fairy tale realm without Andersen would be severely impoverished, lacking characters such as the Snow Queen, the Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, and the Little Match Girl, as well as many inanimate objects that he brought to life: silver shillings and sewing needles, foremost among them his steadfast tin soldier. These motifs have inspired generations of artists. The best among them are found in this collection, featuring great names like Kay Nielsen and Arthur Rackham, the Swede Einar Nerman, and the Ukrainian avant-gardist Georgy Narbut, along with many others, including the eccentric Tom Seidmann-Freud, the legendary German silhouette artist Lotte Reiniger, and the Prague painter and designer Josef Palecek.
