Book Description

ISBN-10: 0253203937 | ISBN-13: 978-0253203939 | Publication Date: September 22, 1986

"Niles' excellent translation should bring Lüthi's sensitive and articulate study the recognition it deserves among English readers." —Library Journal

Lüthi demonstrates how the folktale, by its very distance from reality, can play upon the most important themes of human existence.

Kat - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The European Folktale: Form and Nature (Folklore Studies in Translation) (Paperback)

The European Folktale is such an old tome and is SO succinct and creative and wise that I got lost in Luthi's world view. He 'is' simply the best in Folklore Studies, and that's truth....
