Irische Märchen

Rate this book
In keinem Land Europas ist die mündliche Märchenüberlieferung so lebendig geblieben wie in Irland. Aus der Fülle des Quellenmaterials hat Frederik Hetmann die schönsten Märchen und Feengeschichten zusammengestellt. Seine Auswahl spiegelt wider, was für die irische Märchentradition bezeichnend ist: Stärker als in anderen Nationen knüpft sie an die Themen der Barden an. Von Königssöhnen, Helden und der Mythengestalt Deirdre wird erzählt, Tiere spielen eine wichtige Rolle, vor allem aber bevölkern Geister und Feen die Märchenwelt.

This is a lovely collection of Irish fairytales that I enjoyed reading. At times, the German translation felt a little coarse and flippant, a little too modern to support the magical theme of the stories, but apart from that I really liked it.
