  • The Brothers Grimm - The Seven Ravens

    The Brothers Grimm - The Seven Ravens
    Feb 10 2025
    "The Seven Ravens" (German: Die sieben Raben) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 25). It is of Aarne–Thompson type 451 ("The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers"), commonly found throughout Europe. Other variants of the Aarne–Thompson type include The Six Swans, The Twelve Wild Ducks, Udea and her Seven Brothers, The Wild Swans, and The Twelve Brothers. The 1937 animated feature film The Seven Ravens adapts the fairy tale.

    The tale was published by the Brothers Grimm in the first edition of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen in 1812, under the name "Die drei Raben" (The Three Ravens). In the second edition, in 1819, the name was retitled Die sieben Raben and substantially rewritten. Their source was the Hassenpflug family, and others.

  • Garry Shandling - Larry Sanders - The Autobiography of Larry Sanders

    Garry Shandling - Larry Sanders - The Autobiography of Larry Sanders
    Jan 21 2025
    Told in Garry Shandling's inimitable style which weaves together fact and fiction so that it makes it impossible to determine the difference between Sanders and Shandling. This is a close-up inspection of what makes Larry Sanders tick: his loves, his addictions, his friends and his enemies.
