Fairy Tales-World Classics-Hardcover

The fairy tale is an imaginary homeland where German romantics took refuge. For Goethe, it is a solid bridge that leads to the truth. Goethe's Fairy Tale, the translation of which we present here, is a wonderful dream game, a poetic fantasy; but it is also an extraordinarily literary and extremely important text; It is also a poetic speech about the mission and nature of poetry and literature. In this Tale, Goethe implicitly reveals himself. In the Tale, the old man holding a small lamp in his hand is essentially Goethe himself, and his lamp, that is, his wisdom, has the wonderful property of turning all stones into gold, all wood into silver, and dead animals into jewels.
Just like the green snake in the Fairy Tale, Goethe is privy to four secrets; The work of art comes into being through these four secrets: Light, conversation, deep contemplation of nature and reading its secrets, and love; love that does not dominate but educates and creates.

The tale is a treasure trove of ideas containing the thoughts of the prince of poets about beauty, humanity, sacrifice, mortality, love, death and the afterlife.

While reading the Tale, each reader will not only create their own interpretations, but also discover countless ideas and implications in this literary text.

It is the legitimate right of every reader, whether a child, young or old, to surrender himself to the magic of this Fairy Tale.
