Críticas [The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition] tempts like the devil to read the tales again, gasp at their brazen heroes, and wander their forest paths.---Willis Goth Regier, World Literature Today[A] faithful translation--accompanied by striking black-and-white illustrations, evocative of shadow theatre, by Andrea Dezsö. . . . [T]he Grimms are spare, spinning the tales into beautifully wrought short stories.---Francesca Wade, Times Literary Supplement[M]agnificent . . . what makes this newly released original volume especially enchanting are the breathtaking illustrations by Romanian-born artist Andrea Dezsö.---Maria Popova, Brain Pickings[R]emarkable. . . . Zipes's introduction . . . is illuminating. . . . This is the uncut Brothers Grimm: shocking, funny, and at times downright weird.---Rebecca K. Morrison, Independent[T]he new Zipes translation of the first edition, with all its notes and annotations, is a must, a treasure for anyone with a serious interest in fairy tales, the motifs of which linger perpetually in the collective mind.---Carmel Bird, Sydney Morning Herald[T]hese unexpurgated Grimms' stories are really for older readers who want to delve into the strange stuff that is German folk tales. Deszö's black and white cut-paper illustrations convey a world in which boundaries between the practical and improbable are as fluid and shifting as a dream. 'The miraculous makes self-evident what is wrong with the real world, ' writes Zipes in his learned, accessible introduction, and that's as good a key as any by which to enter this extraordinary territory.---Deirdre Baker, Toronto StarA far more unsettling, exhilarating, oral and adult encounter than you might expect of 'fairy stories.'---Arifa Akbar, IndependentAs nature, admittedly sharp in tooth, claw and thorn, intended.---James Kidd, South China Morning PostJack Zipes's new translation of the original two volumes of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales is a revelation. . . . I know I'll be going back to this book, time and again in the years to come.---Benjamin Read, Books To Look ForNever before published in English, the first edition of the Brothers Grimms' tales reveals an unsanitised version of the stories that have been told at bedtime for more than 200 years. . . . His version of the original 156 stories . . . shows a very different side to the well-known tales, as well as including some gruesome new additions.---Alison Flood, The GuardianOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2015One of South China Morning Post's Best Books of 2014One of The Globe and Mail 75 Book Ideas for Christmas 2014One of The Independent's Best Books of 2014The new book, published by Princeton University Press, offers a fascinating insight into how the collection has changed with the times.---Nick Enoch, Mail OnlineThink you know fairy tales? Be prepared for a nasty shock.---Andrew Donaldson, Rand Daily MailThis collection contains many of the most-loved fairy tales in the history of the form . . . The book is a classic, formed like a mosaic of precious small pieces, each one glinting with its own color and character, glass and crystalline, but somehow hard, unyielding.---Marina Warner, New York Review of BooksThis new translation . . . allows those without German expertise a chance to re-experience familiar stories in all their original Hemingwayesque terseness.---Michael Dirda, Washington PostThoroughly engaging, Zipes' translations into colloquial American English breathe life into these stories. Award-winning artist Andrea Dezsö's cut-paper black and white illustrations capture the essence of this strange and enchanting world that will entice fans of mystical realms and those interested in better understanding the Grimms' enduring influence on literature.---Barbara Basbanes Richter, Fine Books & CollectionsWe might wonder what the Brothers Grimm would think of [the] evolution of their oeuvre, which was originally, quite frank
