Abstract

en_US Rafik Schami was born in Damaskus in 1946. He comes from a Christian-Aramaic family and lived in a Jesuit boarding school in Lebanon. He has lived since 1971 in West Germany and since 1977 has been writing in German as well as Arabic. His works give a sense of the Arabic world of thought, but often also reveal the peculiarities of Germans. The book contains fairy tales (Maerchen) and fabulous stories. Often the stories point to bitter conditions in society. There are nine stories here. Four of these stories come closest to being fables: Das Schaf im Wolfspelz (33-47); Das Schwarze Schaf (77-82); Und die Grille Singt Weiter (83-90); and Die Aufseher (91-103). Und die Grille Singt Weiter refers to La Fontaine's fable. I myself read far enough into the story to know that it is not a fable, though it builds wonderfully from La Fontaine's text.
