Book Description
Principesse, eroi, gnomi, villaggi popolati da bravi uomini che cercano di condurre tranquillamente la loro vita, animali che si trasformano... Si dipanano tra questi personaggi e molti altri, e tra luoghi più o meno inventati, le fiabe dell’autrice. Tutte delicate, gentili, dolci, ben delineate e narrate. Lo stile è molto semplice e fiabesco, tipico dei libri per bambini. A cui, infatti, è dedicata l’opera. Che però, ad un’attenta lettura da parte dei genitori, può trovare spunti di riflessione anche per i più grandi, capaci di cogliere tra le righe anche insegnamenti ad un livello più colto. La stessa brevità dei racconti rende l’intera opera godibile e leggibile anche tutta d’un fiato. Le fiabe si susseguono sciolte e lineari, il libro si lascia leggere piacevolmente, rappresentando una buona lettura per bambini sia per dargli la buona notte, ed allietare così i loro sonni, sia come passatempo pomeridiano, senz’altro di un livello culturale migliore di quanto spesso offrano televisione o Internet. Le emozioni raccontate sono ovviamente semplici, chiare, espresse in forma libera e senza particolari giochi letterari. Lo stile fiabesco è rispettato in pieno, a partire dai canovacci delle storie fino ai loro personaggi. Per questo chi legge le fiabe si ritrova piacevolmente coinvolto in mondi paralleli, in cui la fantasia è libera di spaziare

Book Description
This monumental book, first published in 1992, represents a major contribution to Sephardic and Hispanic studies as well as to comparative folklore scholarship in a worldwide perspective. After many years of fieldwork and extensive archival investigations in Spain, Israel and the United States, the author has brought together and analysed a massive body of primary sources. This is the first collection of Sephardic narratives offered to the English-speaking reader, and constitutes an important addition to the understanding of Sephardic cultural tradition.

Book Description
A representative selection of tales from the Italian fairy-tale tradition, translated into English. This comprehensive collection of Italian tales in English encourages a revisitation of the fairy-tale canon in light of some of the most fascinating material that has often been excluded from it. In the United States, we tend to associate fairy tales with children and are most familiar with the tales of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Disney. But the first literary fairy tales appeared in Renaissance Italy, and long before the Grimms there was already a rich and sophisticated tradition that included hundreds of tales, including many of those today considered "classic." The authors featured in this volume have, over the centuries, explored and interrogated the intersections between elite and popular cultures and oral and literary narratives, just as they have investigated the ways in which fairy tales have been and continue to be rewritten as expressions of both collective identities and individual sensibilities. The fairy tale in its Italian incarnations provides a striking example of how this genre is a potent vehicle for expressing cultural aspirations and anxieties as well as for imagining different ways of narrating shared futures.
