Ich habe schon so viele Sagensammlungen gelesen, aber noch kaum Sekundärliteratur über die Sagenkunde. (comment on Sagen - Fakt, Fiktion oder Fake?: Eine kurze Reise durch zweifelhafte Geschichten vom Mittelalter bis heute)

I don't really have the _time_ to learn much about architecture. Yet somehow, I can never resist taking books on architecture whenever I see one in a Little Free Library... 😅 #Bookstodon (comment on Andrea Palladio, 1508-1580)

Looking at its table of contents, it seems to focus on "secret practices" rather than folk belief, and thus it's likely to be less useful as research material for my planned book on magic-focused folk tales from German folklore. Still, it should be interesting nonetheless, and it even seems to […]

The first entry for my "Comparative Folklore" project. I am looking forward to discovering both the similarities and the differences to German folk tales. #folklore #Mayans #Bookstodon tomes.tchncs.de/list/439/s/comparative-folklore-worldwide (comment on Mayan folktales)

Book List: Comparative Folklore Worldwide - BookWyrm
As a side project, I am searching for folk tales from other cultures and check what their differences from and similarities with German folk tales are. Suggestions are welcome. My primary criteria are: * They should be from cultures from outside of Europe * They should be written by people *from* that culture Ideally, they should also be translated into English (or German) from that same culture. I realize these criteria may be hard to fulfill, and I might be willing to make an exception. But I feel it is best if people tell the stories of their own culture in their own words. 1 book - by juergen_hubert@tomes.tchncs.de
