Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kutenai Tales Amongthe texts collected by me, one was told by Pierre Andrew, a man about 33 years of age, who has a good command of English. He is not able, however, to interpret with any considerable degree of accuracy the grammatical forms of Kutenai, so that his own translation is always a rather free rendering of the Indian sentences. Two tales were told by Pierre Numa, an older man, who, however, spoke so rapidly that the tales had to be redictated by Pierre Andrew, who served as interpreter. Three other tales were told in the same way by Mission J oe, a man about 60 years old, whose dictation was repeated by Felix Andrew, a young man who speaks English Very well, but whose ability to interpret the Indian texts word by word was even less than that of Pierre Andrew. One tale was told by Felix Andrew himself and was recorded by Mr. Robert T. Aitken. The rest of the stories were told by Barnaby, a man about 60 years' of age, who, after Very short practice, learned to speak slowly and distinctly, and whose dictation was perfectly satisfact ory. All these tales were recorded without translation; and the translation was made later on, in part with the assistance of Pierre Andrew, in part with that of Felix Andrew. A11 my informants were Upper Kutenai, and the revision of Chamberlain's tales was also made by Upper Kutenai; so that the dialectic forms of the Lower Kutenai have probably disappeared. It is interesting to note that Barnaby refused to tell the Mosquito story (p. Because, as he said, it was proper for children, not for adults.

Download or read book Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales Classic Reprint written by Grace James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales is a collection of 38 "tales and legends" from the Land of the Rising Sun, published in 1912. Grace James diligently gathered these beautiful stories from various sources, including the Ko-ji-ki, which is the oldest Japanese chronicle of myths that has survived the test of time and human hands to this day. Warwick Goble, well-known illustrator of his time, enhances the appeal of the anthology by furnishing it with 16 artistic depictions of some of the characters in the stories. As he specialized in Asian themes, particularly Japanese and Indian ones, he is a fitting choice for the creation of this book. Children and young adults will find these stories a fine introduction to Japanese culture. Despite its translation into a Western language, various Eastern elements remain, such as the names of the characters and places, as well as the designations of certain figures. Also, certain Asian values, such as profound respect for elders and superiors, help youngsters understand why they are important and how they are supposed to be practiced. However, since the tales date back more than a hundred years ago, some customs featured may be deemed too conservative for modern readers. These old legends and tales effectively transports one to another era and place. As such, this anthology is a great tool for escaping into a fictional realm while, at the same time, learning or being reminded of timeless moral lessons that remain applicable today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairy Tales From Far Japan Western learning taught in the schools, and help to keep up something of the poetic and romantic feeling which we have been used to regard as an element of Japanese character. To adult readers I specially commend the preliminary chapter.

Download or read book Aino Folk Tales Classic Reprint written by Basil Hall Chamberlain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aino Folk-Tales Over most of the country of these rude and helpless indigenes the Japanese have long Since spread, only a dwindling remnant of them still inhabiting the island of Yezo. Since the early days when a couple of them were sent as curiosities to the Emperor of China their uncouth looks and habits have made them objects of interest to more civilised nations. Many European writers have described them, but hardly any with such opportunities as Mr. Basil Hall Chamberlain, Professor of Philology at the tokyo University, who has taken down from the Ainos the present collec tion of their tales, and prefaced it with an account of their ways and state of mind. It would hardly be for me to offer information on a subject so excellently handled, but the request of the Editor of the folk-lore Journal that I would write an Introduction enables me to draw attention to the views put forward by Professor Chamberlain in another publicationfi which, being printed in Japan, may be over looked by many English folk-lore students, even of those interested in the curious Aino problem.
