Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Gotthold Kunstmann's The Hoopoe is a singular scholarly portrait of one of Europe's most evocative birds. A bird that shapes cultures. Submitted as a doctoral dissertation in 1938, this germanic folklore dissertation reads today as a model of early 20th century folklore scholarship: rigorous, comparative and quietly persuasive. Kunstmann marshals folk texts, linguistic comparison and historical context with patient archival method and close readings, making the work an exemplary instance of academic folklore research. Concentrating on bird symbolism in folklore, he delivers sustained myth and legend analysis that traces the hoopoe's echoes in story, ritual and literary reference, thereby enriching European folklore studies and European cultural history. The prose is measured yet lively; students of comparative mythology texts will appreciate the method, and curious general readers will be rewarded by vivid cultural detail and lucid exposition. The form is scholarly without being forbidding, combining disciplined argument with a steady sense of cultural curiosity.Historically significant and quietly influential, the study functions both as a folklore scholars reference and a graduate thesis resource, while also fitting neatly into any humanities academic collection. Scholars of literature and linguistics will note Kunstmann's philological care, and historians will value his contextual framing; casual readers discover surprising links between regional lore and continental ideas. It documents hoopoe cultural significance with a precision that aids cross-disciplinary inquiry in comparative mythology and cultural history. For collectors of classic literature and for libraries assembling European studies, this volume restores an important line of enquiry into animal symbolism and oral tradition. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Accessible to curious readers and prized by classic-literature collectors, this revival makes an overlooked strand of European folk scholarship available again.…
