Publisher's Synopsis
Folk Tales overflow with worldly wisdom. Those collected by the Grimm Brothers are perhaps some of the finest. Folk wisdom is too often subtle but when sought and understood, it reveals insights that are usually not obvious upon first glance. Like myths of old, folk tales reflect facets of humanity not normally seen under the light of day. In the light of their allegory, most everyone has excellent opportunities to glean profound insights into their own nature and wisdom.
In the tradition of the Grimm Brothers, The Journeyman Papers is such a tale. It is an interweaving of ten hand-picked Grimm Brothers stories that bring forth one insightful and thought-provoking tale. Each character depicts different aspects of human nature, growth and maturing that everyone must face in his or her efforts to grow up. Each character reflects life choices that impact both themselves and those whom they encounter, just as in life. Each of them faces the consequences of their choices as they navigate life's path.
Dr. Nagy's work weaves together these Grimm stories in an entertaining and intriguing way. It is a fast paced tale, with many unexpectedly delightful twists and turns. You'll be drawn into the tale very quickly and find yourself wanting to know what happens next.
The Journeyman Papers carry you through timeless themes that every human must encounter, understand, embrace, and learn from in their life. The lessons present themselves on an unfolding path that invites you to think deeper with every step you take.
