Female charakters in folktales and the code of social values

My research is an effort to enhance the cultural knowledge among German and Vietnamese readers. To German readers and scholars of the present, Vietnam is likely associated with the temporary separation of the country and the post-colonial war of the 20th century and Vietnamese folktales might be thus unfamiliar that still raises various questions. In Vietnam, the tales of the Brothers Grimm have been translated into Vietnamese since the 1960s. However, Vietnamese scholars keep the question of the Brothers Grimm’s life, in which context they collected the tales, how they published them and how the tales became famous and popular in the world a secret.
