The content of the audio fairy tale
The Rhine rushes its waters. The mighty river washes away the stone masses. The waves crash against the sharp edges of the cliff. At its top is a monument to Wilhelm Gauf, a writer whose fairy tales are known and loved by children all over the world.
Wilhelm Hauff was born on November 29, 1802 in Stuttgart, the main city of the Duchy of Württemberg. The dukes earned themselves a notorious reputation for cruelty, arbitrariness, persecuting and forbidding every word of freedom and protest. In order to silence the young Schiller, the duke arrested him, issuing a special decree forbidding the great poet of Germany "to compose comedies and similar nonsense." And only flight saved Schiller. Gauf's father, an ordinary average official of one of the ministries, was thrown into prison without trial or investigation, from where he came out mortally ill.
The future writer spent his childhood in his grandfather's house, in the university city of Tübingen.
Little Wilhelm most days free from schoolwork, spent in a room whose walls were covered with huge dark cabinets. Behind their glasses, the golden spines of heavy volumes gleamed mysteriously. A wide variety of books were collected in the grandfather's library: from old folk tales to fashionable at that time chivalric novels.
The boy climbed into a chair and sat for hours in this safe hiding place, leafing through page after page. And in the evenings, Wilhelm gathered the sisters and enthusiastically told ... The irrepressible fantasy of the boy gave birth to fascinating stories in which fiction intertwined with what was read.
So Gauf revealed the gift of a storyteller. Later, after graduating from university, the young man got a job as a home teacher in the house of Baron Hugel. There, not only children, but also adults became his listeners.
The local intelligentsia gathered in the evenings at the baron's house. And when the stormy debate about Napoleon, about the events in Germany and France, came to an end, the hour of Gauf came. Soft, as if a magical light radiated from him big eyes. One story followed another… Young Gauf's voice sounded like a wonderful instrument. He fascinated, called for him to unknown countries created by the author's imagination.
But none of the fantasies have yet been put on paper. And it seemed that the young man did not think to do this. He enjoyed just talking. And, who knows, perhaps we would never have read his charming fairy tales, if one day Hugel's wife had not urgently advised Gauf to write down his oral stories. And she asked her relative to help print, famous publisher works of Goethe and Schiller.
So in the hands of Gauf was a pen. And, as if feeling that fate had given him too little time, he worked, trying not to lose a single minute. Much had to be done: not only to write, but also to see, to learn. Leaving Württemberg for the first time, the twenty-four-year-old Gauf travels to Berlin, Dresden, travels around Belgium, Holland, and France. For three years he published three "almanacs of fairy tales" (the last one for 1828 came out after his death), a collection of "Military and Soldiers' Songs", a number of short stories, several novels, for one of which he was awarded the title of "German Walter Scott".
Not everything written by Gauf is equal in artistic merit. He died too early - twenty-five years old - and did not have time to figure out many things. Loving his homeland, he blindly believed in its greatness and the justice of its deeds. False ideas formed the basis of his historical novels. But the best and most valuable of his literary heritage there were and still are fairy tales that Wilhelm Hauff himself loved so much.
Not thinking about originality, not envying the glory of his contemporaries, the Brothers Grimm, Gauf wrote as he told. Without constraining his imagination, carried away, as if he saw in front of him the burning eyes of small and large readers.
In the ancient legends of Germany and other countries, in bizarre Arabian tales Gauf found his heroes. Only to these heroes did he give new life, full of sharp, exciting adventures, sending them on risky, alluring journeys.
Gauf wrote simply and vividly. Therefore, the most incredible seems real, visible: and funny, Guinea pigs in walnut-shell slippers, and a clumsy goose who suddenly turns out to be a pretty girl. You sympathize with the curious Caliph, who has taken on the form of a stork, and rejoice that the envious and greedy king grows donkey ears and a long, fleshy nose.
In Gauf's fairy tales, as in any other fairy tales, goodness always triumphs. And, perhaps, reading them, children and adults become kinder, better. Like those tomboyish boys who pursued and teased little Muck until they found out what a difficult, sad life this little, ugly little man with a big and kind heart had about her.
