Omschrijving

This public domain "children's" book was written by German physician Heinrich Hoffmann. Originally published in 1845, it was (re)introduced to the American public in 2006 by a well-known paper salesman and beet farmer. Dr. Hoffmann offers ten well-intentioned parables that warn children of the consequences and dangers of insolence and distasteful behavior -- you might call it the 19th-century version of "scared straight."

Struwwelpeter may have been deemed appropriate for children in mid-1800's Germany, but it is definitely not acceptable in today's overly sensitive political climate. The book is genuinely offensive on myriad levels - racial stereotypes, comic book violence, gruesome depictions, and much more! If you are easily offended, lack a sense of humor, or are unable to comprehend that civilization has [mostly] progressed since this book was written, you have been warned! Purchase this book at your own peril and check your "wokeness" at the door.

On the other hand, if you can appreciate that times have changed dramatically in 175 years, then enjoy! Struwwelpeter is an interesting and worthwhile examination of the less-than-kind and not-so-gentle approach to child-rearing in 1845 Europe. Just to reiterate ... as warm and fuzzy as it may be to have your thumbs cut off because you suck them, this book is still NOT appropriate for young children.

The Media Hatchery edition of this book contains the original artwork and both the English translation and the original German text. The pictures have been meticulously restored, the type reset, and the contents printed on high-quality paper to ensure bright, vivid colors and a clean, modern presentation of a 175-year-old classic.
