Abstract

en_US A cursory look at this book suggests that most of the stories grow straight out of scripture. Some are nice developments of scriptural stories, like Der Rabe Noahs (34) and Die Taube Noahs (35). These texts use some imagination to dig behind the text we know. Some texts later in this little volume of 91 pages show more typical characteristics of fables. Der frühe Tod (82) is a good example. A girl hesitates to break the stem of roses to use them to make the crown she needs. She comes back at noon to find the loveliest roses eaten by the worm. Those the worm misses are weakened by too long in the sun. Werder interprets the story by saying that God calls his dearest children out of life early. Die Rose unter Dornen (84) is another example of a more standard fable. The rose here tells the young man that his enemies are like the rose's thorns: they do not prick, they protect the rose, and they give it juice. The man goes away, his soul a chalice of gratitude for -- his enemies. There is a listing of the first fifty-nine members of the Bücherei des Schocken Verlags at the end of the book. The only place where one learns that this is #60 is on the front cover.
