Autor

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and most notably, authors who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century. They are among the most famous storytellers of folk tales, popularizing stories such as 'Cinderella' (Aschenputtel), 'The Frog Prince' (Der Froschkönig), 'Hansel and Gretel' (Hänsel und Gretel), 'Rapunzel', and 'Snow White' (Schneewittchen). Their first collection of folk tales, 'Children's and Household Tales' (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), was published in 1812. This seminal work was expanded over their lifetimes and is best known in English as 'Grimm's Fairy Tales', encompassing over 200 stories, which has been influential across the globe and fundamental in the development of the Western fairy tale tradition. The brothers' literary style combined thorough scholarly research with a unique ability to capture the folkloric spirit within their tales, which often included themes of morality, justice, and at times, dark undertones. Recognized for their rich contributions to literature and linguistics—including pioneering work on the German Dictionary (Deutsches Wörterbuch)—the Brothers Grimm's legacy extends beyond storytelling into the foundation of modern studies of folklore and language.
