Hermanos Grimm

著者について

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, were German scholars and folklorists best known for their collection of fairy tales. Born in the late 18th century, they began to gather and publish folklore in the early 19th century, working in an era when national identity was becoming increasingly important in Europe. Their famous works, including "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Hansel and Gretel," have become staples of children's literature and have had a profound impact on Western culture.

Beyond their contributions to literature, the Grimms were also linguists and made significant contributions to the study of the German language. Their work laid the groundwork for the field of Germanic philology, and their collection efforts helped preserve many tales that might have otherwise been lost. The Brothers Grimm's influence extends far beyond their lifetimes, inspiring countless adaptations in literature, film, and other media, and their legacy continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
