Eskimomärchen by Paul Sock
"Eskimomärchen" by Paul Sock is a collection of traditional Inuit folk tales translated into German, likely written in the early 20th century. This compilation offers readers insight into the rich mythology and storytelling traditions of the Inuit people, showcasing their values, philosophies, and views of the natural world. The tales within often feature transformations, animal characters, and the interplay between the spiritual and physical realms. The opening portion presents several origin storiesand myths, illustrating themes of creation, survival, and the dynamics between humans and nature. For example, one tale recounts how the first humans emerged from an erbsenschote (pea pod), while another describes a great flood that shapes the landscape. Other stories explore the mystical powers of the raven—a key figure in Inuit mythology—who brings light to the earth and assists in the creation of various animals. Together, these narratives set the stage for a fascinating exploration of the Inuit worldview and its profound connections to the environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
