"Rapunzel" by The Brothers Grimm is a classic German fairy tale about a young woman named Rapunzel, held captive in a tower by an evil witch. The tower has no stairs or doors, only a small window high above. Rapunzel has magnificently long hair, and when she hears the voice of the witch, she throws her hair out of the window to allow the witch to climb up. One day, a prince hears Rapunzel's beautiful voice, discovers the tower, and they fall in love. It is eventually Rapunzel's love for the prince that leads them to escape from the witch's hold.

The Brothers Grimm

Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859) were German brothers renowned for their significant contributions to folklore and literature. Together, they are best known for collecting and publishing a vast array of traditional folktales and legends, a collection that became known as "Grimm's Fairy Tales." Their work in collecting and preserving these stories, often with moral lessons and fantastical elements, has had a profound impact on global literature and popular culture. The Grimms' dedication to linguistics and philology also played a crucial role in the development of the German language. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were scholars and linguists who collaborated on various linguistic studies and dictionaries, contributing significantly to the study of the German language's history and evolution. Their legacy extends beyond their native Germany, as their fairy tales, which include beloved stories like "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Hansel and Gretel," have been translated into numerous languages and continue to enchant readers of all ages worldwide. more…
