Jede der beiden kennt nur ihren Teil der Geschichte, und die erzählten Puzzleteile – zwei persönliche Universen, gleichzeitig so unterschiedlich und einander so ähnlich – müssen vom Leser zu...

Did You Hear About The Girl Who . . . ?

Ever hear the one about the man who wakes up after a chance sexual encounter to discover he's been involuntarily relieved of one of his kidneys? Or the tiny gift-wrapped box from a recently departed lover that reveals a horrible secret? Everyone knows contemporary legends, those barely believable, often lurid, cautionary tales, always told as though they happened to the friend of a friend. Sometimes we pass them on to others unsure of their truthfulness, usually we dismiss them as mere...

Alle Geschichten im Buch handeln von der Wahrheitssuche, denn ohne Wahrheit gibt es kein Leben, ohne sie sind wir hohl, erbärmlich und ungerecht.

Fairy Godfather

Ruth B. Bottigheimer

Fairy Godfather

In the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale a penniless heroine (or hero), with some magic help, marries a royal prince (or princess) and rises to wealth. Received opinion has long been that stories like these originated among peasants, who passed them along by word of mouth from one place to another over the course of centuries. In a bold departure from conventional fairy tale scholarship, Ruth B. Bottigheimer asserts that city life and a single individual played a central role in the creation and...
