If we think of a story-teller, then we almost always imagine an old man - necessarily with thick eyebrows and with a long, gray beard; somehow it does not occur to him that the storyteller was a boy, that he had a mother, that he grew up, studied and was engaged not only in telling stories, but also in other serious matters. However, the fact that a storyteller can have a brother and that both brothers can be storytellers is something we know well, because we always remember the Brothers Grimm,
They were born in the German city of Hanau, Jacob in 1785, and Wilhelm in 1786. Their father, Philip Wilhelm, was a lawyer and in 1792 became a judge in his hometown of Steinau. Together with him, the whole family moved there. A small, quiet town fell in love with Jacob and Wilhelm, they often roamed the streets, went to the outskirts, brought home flowers, stones, various beetles and butterflies, and sketched it all, so as not to forget. Since then, they were fascinated by drawing and drawing, if a free minute fell out, even when they became adults and a lot of difficult worries were added.
My father read a lot, and there were always plenty of books in the house. Addicted to reading and guys. But walks were walks, reading was reading, and it was necessary to think about where to go to study. Here are the brothers and entered the city school. Unfortunately, the classes were conducted very badly, and if Wilhelm and Jacob had not tried to learn more themselves, then most likely there would be no great use from the teachings.
In 1796, a misfortune happened - the father died. And they were left alone: ​​the mother, Jacob, Wilhelm, the third, the younger brother, and three very little sisters. Jacob is only eleven years old, but he is already the oldest man in the house, and he behaved bravely, the whole family relied on him. It’s good that the mother’s sister came to the rescue: she worked with the children a lot, and they all loved her very much.
Soon Jacob and Wilhelm first left their home and went to the city of Kassel. There they began to study at the lyceum, then to enter the university. Jacob was a strong, healthy boy, and therefore he graduated from high school earlier, and Wilhelm was often sick, but he tried not to be very far behind his brother. Both wanted to become adults as soon as possible, to start earning at least some money to help my mother. And William almost did not lag behind his brother: he entered the university only six months after Jacob. However, half of the year, when the brothers first lived not together, was very, very sad. And then, in very very adult life, the brothers always yearned for each other, if they had to leave at least for a while: they did not like to be apart!
Both Jacob and Wilhelm, who were faithful to their children's hobbies, wanted to practice botany, but, in memory of their father, they decided to become lawyers. Mom was very happy about this decision, and the brothers finally went to a university in the city of Marburg. New acquaintances turned out to be very interesting - for the first time the brothers found collections of old German songs. From that time, the young men were carried away with the gathering of German folk songs, legends and fairy tales.
Germany was then broken up into separate principalities, its ruler ruled everywhere; it was much easier to seize each principality than if the German people had gathered together and lived in one, common state. Such a misfortune happened in 1806 (William was then graduating from the university, and Jacob was already working): the troops of the French Emperor Napoleon entered the principality of Westfalia; Napoleon's brother, Jerome, was declared king. The Grimm family suffered this disaster. And they themselves had a hard time at that time: there was always not enough money in the house. True, King Jerome turned his attention to Jacob and ordered him to be in charge of the royal collection of books, so it became a little easier for the family to live. And Wilhelm, who graduated from university, remained without work, but he worked a lot himself, collected folk songs, legends, fairy tales and even printed them in a separate book.
When the French were driven out of the principality, Jerome ordered that the entire library in which Jacob worked be taken to France. But these books were not French, but German, captured. How did Jacob suffer when they were packed and sent to someone else's land! This book - a rarity, but there were old ones, which, perhaps, no more in the whole wide world! And nevertheless, Jacob managed to hide at least something, at least save something!
Then Wilhelm began to work with his brother in the library. Both hoped that their salary would be raised and it would be easier to live, but this did not happen. The new ruler did not pay attention to them.
And during this time, the brothers became famous throughout the world. They collected many German fairy tales, legends and songs, and, as if by magic, all Germans began to prefer their own German legends to those tales that were brought to Germany from other lands. And this is exactly what the Brothers Grimm wanted:
