Aus dem Vorwort des Autors: "Nicht mit Unrecht wird Japan als das "wunderbare Sonnenland" bezeichnet; denn neben seinen wirklich wunderbaren Naturreizen bieten Kunst und Literatur, ganz besonders die des Altertums, eine schier unersch繹pfliche Fundgrube nicht nur f羹r den wissenschaftlichen Forscher sondern auch f羹r den Sch繹ngeist und f羹r den Freund eines reinen Volkstums. Gar reich, und nicht hinter der deutschen zur羹ckstehend, ist die japanische M瓣rchenwelt, aus der ich hier eine Auswahl zusammengestellt und f羹r die deutsche Jugend bearbeitet habe." Inhalt: - Juki-onna - Der wei?e Fuchs - Urashima Taro - Wenn man mit Kobolden tanzt - Neid bringt Leid - Der schlaue Polizist - Der Abt des Klosters Yakhusi - List geht 羹ber Gewalt - Die Kr繹te von Osaka und die von Kyoto - Der Affe und der Sake - Die Auster - Der Sperling mit abgeschnittener Zunge - Die geplagte Krabbe - Der kluge Hase - Maorigashima - Der Hase und der Dachs - Schlauheit sch羹tzt nicht vor T瓣uschung - Der bed瓣chtige Reiher - Belohnte Kindesliebe - Der bestrafte Tierqu瓣ler - Rai-taro - Hotaru - Horaisan - Die W羹nsche des Steinhauers
Gesammelte M瓣rchen
Aus dem Buch: "Es war einmal ein Land, das war das sch繹nste von allen L瓣ndern, und das Schlo? des Herzogs, dem es geh繹rte, lag an einem See, der war so blau, kein Blauf瓣rber h瓣tte ihn blauer f瓣rben k繹nnen. Einmal, vor langer, langer Zeit, war der Ritter Wendelin mit seinem Knappen J繹rg an diesen See gekommen und hatte an seinen Ufern nichts gefunden als w羹ste Heide und nackte Felsen. Aber das Land mu?te fr羹her ein anderes Ansehen gehabt haben; denn an manchen Stellen lagen zerbrochene S瓣ulen und marmorne Statuen mit abgebrochenen Nasen und H瓣nden ringsumher. An den Berglehnen gab es noch altes Gem瓣uer, das fr羹her wohl fruchtbare Erde und Weinst繹cke getragen haben mochte; aber der Regen hatte l瓣ngst die Bodenkrume von den Felsen gewaschen, und in den zusammengesunkenen Bauwerken und eingest羹rzten Kellern hausten jetzt F羹chse, Nachtv繹gel und anderes Getier." Georg Ebers (1837-1898) war ein deutscher ?gyptologe und Schriftsteller. Mit seinen historischen Romanen und popul瓣rwissenschaftlichen B羹chern trug er zur gro?en Popularit瓣t der ?gyptologie im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert bei. Beginnend mit Eine 瓣gyptische K繹nigstochter (1864) verfasste Ebers zahlreiche historische Romane, die auf gro?es Leserinteresse stie?en. Neben Felix Dahn gilt er als der bedeutendste Vertreter des "Professorenromans". Die Themen der Romane w瓣hlte er teilweise aus dem Umfeld seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, also der 瓣gyptischen Geschichte, aber auch aus anderen Epochen (Mittelalter). Inhalt: - Das Elixir - Die N羹sse - Ein Weihnachtsm瓣rchen f羹r meine Kinder und Enkel - Die graue Locke

A faerie who knows more about my past than anyone-including me.A good man who could crush my heart if I let him in. Which I can't do.Not if I want vengeance against the Queen who ruined my life. Despite my claims that I work alone, Hatter and two nosey little pixies insist on sticking with me.Only one thing is for sure, with them by my side assassinating the Red Queen will be unlike any other job I've ever tackled.
