Beschreibung
A cornerstone of 19th-century folklore studies, Gypsy Folk Tales by Francis Hindes Groome delves into the rich oral traditions of the Roma people. Drawing on his first hand immersion in Roma life, Groome presents a vivid collection of tales that illuminate the intricate narratives carried across Eurasia by nomadic cultures. From humble heroes embarking on magical journeys to tricksters and wicked step-relations, these stories resonate with universal archetypes that transcend borders and epochs.
Unlike sanitized folklore of the time, Groome preserves the raw, unpolished essence of these tales, embracing their complexity. This unfiltered approach reveals a captivating window into the Roma's cultural identity while underscoring the shared threads of human storytelling. A must-read for enthusiasts of folklore and cultural history, this volume offers a profound exploration of timeless narratives that continue to enchant and inspire.
