Zustandsbeschreibung
Unbenutzt, neuwertig. Papier ist eventuell leicht nachgedunkelt, aber es kann auch die Originalfarbe sein. Da das Buch unbenutzt ist, ich mich ungern trenne (würde es gerne selbst lesen, habe aber keine Zeit) und es fast 500 sehr großformatige Seiten hat, stelle ich es für 4 Tickets ein.

Internationally bestselling author Forsyth spins for historical fiction fans the amazing untold love story behind the famous fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm.
-
One of six sisters, Dortchen Wild lives in the small German kingdom of Hesse-Cassel in the early 19th century. She finds herself irresistibly drawn to the boy next door, the handsome but very poor fairy tale scholar Wilhelm Grimm. It is a time of tyranny and terror. Napoleon Bonaparte wants to conquer all of Europe, and Hesse-Cassel is one of the first kingdoms to fall. Forced to live under oppressive French rule, Wilhelm and his brothers quietly rebel by preserving old half-forgotten tales that had once been told by the fireside of houses grand and small over the land.
As Dortchen tells Wilhelm some of the most powerful and compelling stories in what will one day become his and Jacob´s famous fairy tale collection, their love blossoms. But Dortchen´s father will not give his consent for them to marry and war, death, and poverty also conspire to keep the lovers apart. Yet Dortchen is determined to find a way.
Evocative and richly-detailed, “The Wild Girl“ masterfully captures one young woman´s enduring faith in love and the power of storytelling.
