Fairy tales are undoubtedly an important branch of oral tradition throughout the world. And if we think of fairy tales, Snow White, Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel soon appear in our imagination - characters related to the work of the Brothers Grimm, from Germany. Generally, we are very fond of these protagonists, because they were - and are - faithful companions from our childhood.
On Saturday 10th July, two volunteers from the Rural Libraries Network, the German Teacher Kyra Grewe and the Language and Literature teacher Rumi Elías Mires Mocker, delighted us in the discussion "The Brothers Grimm: stories in grey", and they led us to see other aspects, not so common, of this topic.
Rumi's exposition, from a critical angle, enriched what we commonly know about this matter and showed us how much influence the world of cinema currently has on the tales of the Brothers Grimm.
Thank you for this pleasant and instructive discussion.
For those who missed it, it is available on our Facebook page: “Andares de la Red de Bibliotecas de Cajamarca”. Soon it will also be on our YouTube channel.
