American Indian Fairy Tales
Henry R. Schoolcraft
Book Overview:
With no written language, Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region passed their cultural identity down through the generations by way of stories. Far more than mere tales to amuse children, they passed along the collective wisdom of the tribes. In the 1830s, government Indian Agent and ethnologist Henry R Schoolcraft learned the language of these people and went out to collect and preserve their stories before the tribes disappeared under the westward rush of American civilization. Though these stories were recast as children’s fairy tales in the 1920s, they contain much of the old wisdom of a culture which has largely disappeared

It is remarkable how similar these American Indian tales are to traditional European fairy tales. Many of them could be brought under the category of fable, allegory or parable as many have a moral or lesson to live by. Many are extremely perfervid and leave a marked impression on the reader. Right
I love fairy tales. Always have. It was great to be able to take a look at the fairy tales of another culture. They felt more like folk tales than fairy tales, but oh well. Some of them had moments of each, and I enjoyed the stories. It was an impulse buy, and I'm really glad that I picked it up.
لدى الحكايات الشعبية القدرة الهائلة على حشد المعتقدات السائدة وجوانب مهمة من ثقافة الشعب في لغة بسيطة وسلسة. كتاب يحوي ثمان من قصص الهنود الحمر على لسان الراوي "لاغو". فيه الكثير من ارتباط الهنود بالبيئة والكائنات حولهم؛ ممتع
Me faltaban leer los dos últimos cuentos y hoy por fin lo he terminado luego de dejarlo de lado tanto tiempo.
Son pequeños cuentos cortitos, ideal para niños que narran distintas historias relacionadas con espíritus de la naturaleza como el viento del norte.
No puedo decir mucho porque estaría contand
لو عشت في القرن الثامن عشر
لكنت من المؤكد انتمي للرومانسيين القوميين
ما أجمل حكاياتهم المغرقة في الخيال !
حيث يصادق البشر الحيوانات والنجوم والأقمار و والشجر!
ألمح فيها ظلا باهتا لقصص دينية تحرفت وتشوهت
يا روح أوراق الشجر الضاحكة
أيها الجني في غابة الصنوبر
اصغي إلي الفتاة التتي تتوق لأرض السعادة تلك
من مثواك في مجاز الغابة الصيفي
سارع بالمجئ إلي فتاتك الحزينة

من أفضل كتب المجموعة حتي الآن
قصص الهنود الحمر ممتعة وملئية بال .. الحيوانات
من ترجمات هيئة أبوظبي للثقافة والتراث
هذه القصص التي تمثل لنا تلاحم الهنود الحمر مع كل ما هو كائن حي وغير حي بالنسبة لهم
زعجبتني تسمياتهم للأشياء
ليس كما تصورهم كتب تاريخ المحتل الإمريكي عندما قضوا عليهم وعلى ثقافتهم وفلكلورهم
مجرد 9 قصص شعبية ويوجد كذلك في مجموعة أخرى
حكايات قبيلة الشيروكي
اعجبتني
