Tales of Passed Time (Serapis Classics)
It is to Perrault that we owe our acquaintance with the greater number of good old-fashioned fairy-tales, but an edition of these, although it includes such intimate friends of our childhood as Blue Beard, the Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding-Hood, is hardly complete without "Beauty and the Beast"; a version of this tale, by Mme. Le Prince de Beaumont, has, therefore, been added to this collection. It has also been increased, space permitting it, by the insertion of two tales by Mme. la Comtesse d'Aulnoy; her writings, of a less robust class than those of Perrault, possess in their atmosphere of hidden magic, the charm which resides in that special feature of fairyland, and the addition of "The Benevolent Frog" and "Princess Rosette" will not, we think, be unwelcome to the youthful reader.
The Stories from Ancient Egypt - 10 Novels in One Volume
Georg Ebers' "The Stories from Ancient Egypt" is a rich tapestry of narrative that intertwines historical fact with imaginative fiction, capturing the essence of ancient Egyptian civilization through ten interconnected novels. Ebers employs an ornate literary style that reflects the grandeur of the era, immersing readers in a world of pharaohs, gods, and the daily lives of the ancient populace. Each story not only explores themes of love, betrayal, and heroism but is also steeped in meticulous research, offering insights into the socio-political and cultural dynamics of ancient Egypt, thereby enriching the reader's understanding of this pivotal period in history. Georg Ebers, a prominent German Egyptologist and novelist, was inspired by his extensive travels in Egypt and his profound admiration for its ancient heritage. His academic background, coupled with a passion for storytelling, informed his narratives, allowing him to weave scholarly insights seamlessly into his fiction. Ebers's unique perspective serves as a bridge between past and present, illuminating the timeless nature of human experience through the lens of ancient Egyptian society. This volume is highly recommended for readers who revel in historical fiction and wish to gain a deeper appreciation for one of history's most fascinating cultures. Ebers' blend of verse and prose not only entertains but educates, making this collection an indispensable addition to the libraries of both casual readers and serious scholars alike.
