Why do we think of Red Riding Hood when we find ourselves alone in the woods or even a city park? Why does Hollywood still reap profit from retelling the old stories? Why do they move us so deeply? On the Nature of Fairy Tales by Max Luthi (1909-1991) is a wonderful place to begin to look under the surface of these deceptively simple tales. The eleven essays gathered in this book explore different features of fairytales such as structure, symbolism, and meaning. Luthi views the tales as a unique literary genre. He knew and referred to the major schools of folklore research ¿ the sociological, the psychological, and the comparative historical approaches ¿ but he always returned to the stories themselves. The meanings he found there were more than enough. Fairytales have ¿a crispness and precision¿ in part, according to Luthi, because they eliminate most descriptions. We hear of a dark forest, a cottage, a witch, but any and all details come from our own imagination. In a similar way, there is no real character development. ¿The fairy tale is not concerned with individual destinies,¿ but this lends the tales a universal meaning. The prince or princess stands for all of us, ¿as an image of the human spirit.¿ At its core, the fairytale is about our ¿deliverance from an unauthentic existence and [the] commencement of a true one.¿ Prince or princess, goose girl or goatherd, all have lost their way. Their radiance, which is our radiance, is hidden. The kitchen lad wears a hat to hide his golden hair. Sometimes the hero or heroine sets off into the forest alone. Sometimes they sit and weep. ¿Crying, the sign of helplessness, summons assistance ¿ again a feature recurring in innumerable fairy tales. Precisely as an outcast can man hope to find help.¿ The caveat is that one must be kind and compassionate to all living creatures in order to find the right kind of help at the right time. Even ants will repay a kindness that can save the hero¿s life. Luthi quotes Mircea Eliade who said that fairytale listeners experience an ¿initiation in the sphere of imagination.¿ In Luthi¿s view, fairytales echo the truths of the great spiritual traditions ¿ both we and the world are far more than what we seem: "The fairy tale conquers time by ignoring it. Part of the power which it has to delight the reader derives from this triumph over time and the passage of time¿.[these stories] remove us from the time continuum and make us feel that there is another way of viewing and experiencing life, that behind all birth and death there is another world, resplendent, imperishable, and incorruptible.".

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The number of people who live in Asia is greater than the total number of people who live in the rest of the world. More than 160 cities in Asia have a population of at least one million people. Thus, when new infectious diseases threaten popu- tions in Asia, huge segments of the global population are at risk. At the same time, Asians are thoroughly integrated with the rest of the world, providing skilled exp- tise and becoming trading partners in all continents. Infectious diseases ordinarily show no preference for infection or disease according to race or ethnic background. A few exceptions exist, due to the host- pathogen evolution that happened before the recent era of rapid travel. Such exc- tions occur usually because the infectious agent was newly introduced to one population only after having existed and evolved for hundreds or thousands of years in a different population. As air travel became popular in the last few generations of people, it became increasingly difficult for populations to remain in isolation. Thus, in 2003, SARS in China rapidly became SARS in Canada. Throughout history, a major source of new infections of people has been old infections of animals. For some, such as Ebola or Lassa, transmission to people is rare and self-limiting, though frighteningly lethal for the few unfortunate indivi- als who get infected. And Ebola and Lassa are indigenous for Africa, not Asia.
