The Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A true fairy story is a work of art. At Michaelmas in 1795, a series of stories appeared, of which the concluding one was a fairy tale: The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.

The tale tells of magical transformation--one that, when the time is at hand, can be experienced by anyone. The author of these stories was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and the creation of his fairy tale would have far-reaching consequences.

This edition of Goethe's fairy tale arose from illustrator David Newbatt's inspiration to join Thomas Carlyle's English translation with a new series of pictures. The purpose is to reveal the sevenfold process that unfolds within Goethe's fairy tale--a process that forms a path of inner development and personal transformation.

In addition to the translation by Thomas Carlyle and the series of seven pictures by David Newbatt, The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily includes an introduction by Tom Raines.
