📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

In a cruel and absurd world, how do the weak survive and ultimately triumph?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first read the Grimm tales in their raw, folk-original form, I was captivated by a primal chill quite unlike the lovely endings I knew as a child. The insight of the stories the Brothers Grimm gathered lies in showing human resilience: abandoned children who survive, by wit and resolve, in the terrifying unknown of the forest. It is a riveting record in which the wisdom of the old ones, finding a way through life's dark underside and its dangers, lives and breathes exactly as it was.
