100 best fairy tales of the world. Fairy tale guide

Fairy tale is usually a work of an epic, magical, heroic or everyday nature with an undisguisedly fictional plot and no pretensions to the historicity of the narration.
Traditionally, fairy tales are divided into folklore (folk) and literary (author's).
Folk tale (folk) — a type of written and oral folk art, including works of different genres, the texts of which are based on fiction
Literary tale (author’s) from it, belonging to a particular author.

The word "fairy tale" is attested in written sources no earlier than the 17th century. It comes from the word "say". It mattered: a list, a list, an exact description. For example, the census document "Revision Tale". It acquires modern significance from the 17th-19th centuries. Previously, the word "fable" was used.
European peoples, as a rule, do not designate a folk tale in any way, using a variety of words to define it. There are only two European languages ​​that have created special words for this concept: Russian and German.

Literary fairy tales

Literary fairy tale is an epic genre: a fiction-oriented work closely related to a folk tale, but, unlike it, belonging to a specific author, did not exist before publication in oral form and had no options. A literary fairy tale either imitates a folklore one ( literary fairy tale, written in the folk poetic style ), or creates a didactic work based on non-folklore plots.

The main differences between folklore and literary fairy tales:
- A literary fairy tale is always recorded and its appearance is unchanged. A folk tale does not have a strictly established text; each storyteller could add or remove something to it at will.
- The literary tale reflects the author's personal view of the world, his idea of ​​life and justice. The folklore tale reflects the ideals and values ​​of the whole people.
- A literary tale is a reflection of the era in which it was written and the dominant literary currents of that time.

By analogy with the classification of folk tales, fairy tales about animals, magical, everyday, adventurous can be distinguished among literary tales; in terms of pathos - heroic, lyrical, humorous, satirical, philosophical, psychological tales; in proximity to other literary genres - fairy tales-poems, fairy tales-short stories, fairy tales-tales, fairy tales-parables, fairy tales-plays, fairy tales-parodies, science fiction fairy tales, fairy tales of the absurd, etc.

Literary tales have been known since ancient times: the most ancient Egyptian tale of the 13th century BC has been preserved. e. in the form of a literary story about two brothers, the ancient Indian parables "Jataka" about the earthly reincarnations of the Buddha, created from the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. e., the tale of the ancient Roman writer of the II century AD. e. Apuleius "Cupid and Psyche". The first modern fictional fairy tales can be found in the Delicious Nights collection by the Italian Straparola.
French rococo fairy tale stories were collected in Germany during the Weimar Classicism, in particular by Christoph Martin Wieland in the collection Djinnistan.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe wrote three literary tales: "The Tale" (in "The Entertainment of German Emigrants"), "New Paris" (in "Poetry and Truth") and "New Melusina" (in "Wilhelm Meister's Marching Years").

The French poet and critic Charles Perrault (Perrault, 1628-1703) can be considered one of the most famous founders of the author's fairy tale. In 1697 he published the collection Tales of Mother Goose, or Stories and Tales of Bygone Times with Teachings. The collection contained eight tales, which were a literary adaptation of folk tales (it is believed that they heard from the nurse of Perrault's son). This book made Perrault widely known outside the literary circle. In fact, Perrault introduced the folk tale into the system of genres of "high" literature.
The Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi (1720–1806) influenced the tradition of the author's fairy tale, in whose plays both motifs borrowed from Italian folklore and motifs of oriental fairy tales were combined.
One of the best masters of the German author's fairy tale was the prose writer Wilhelm Hauff (Hauff, 1802–1827).
Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859) - are one of the most famous and widely read storytellers on our planet. They collected and recorded about two hundred and ten fairy tales and legends, which are read and re-read by more than one generation.
The tales of the Danish prose writer Hans Christian Andersen (Andersen, 1805–1875) are addressed to audiences regardless of age.
Rudyard Kipling (Kipling, 1865–1936) used in his prose knowledge not only of native folklore, but also of world mythology.
Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940 ) created the classic children's book Nils Holgerson's Wonderful Journey Through Sweden (1906–1907).
Another Swedish writer, Astrid Lindgren (Lindgren, 1907–2003) created the famous books Pippi Longstocking (1945–1946) or The Kid and Carlson Who Lives on the Roof (1955–1968) after World War II.
Italian prose writer Gianni Rodari (1920–1980) is associated both with the tradition of folk tales and with the literary tradition, which is reflected in the fairy tales The Adventures of Cipollino (1951) and The Voyage of the Blue Arrow (1952), as well as in the book Tales on the Telephone (1962).
