LAURA OKELY ROMITI
IL GATTO CON GLI STIVALI E LA SUA EREDE: FIABA
DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. TIMBRI/SEGNI DI CATALOGAZIONE DI BIBLIOTECA ESTINTA IN ANTIPORTA. OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, LIEVE BRUNITURA, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO; PICCOLA ROTTURA AL BORDO SUPERIORE DEL DORSO. Il gatto con gli stivali è una fiaba popolare europea. La più antica attestazione scritta della storia risale a Giovanni Francesco Straparola, che la incluse nelle sue Piacevoli notti (pubblicate a partire dal 1550) con il titolo di Costantino Fortunato; è incerto se Straparola abbia inventato la fiaba o abbia semplicemente trascritto un racconto della tradizione orale. Un secolo più tardi, vide la luce la versione di Giambattista Basile. Nel Romanticismo tedesco fu Ludwig Tieck a scrivere questa fiaba con linguaggio tipicamente romantico, prendendosi gioco della letteratura del tempo. Apparve in "Fiabe popolari" dello stesso Tieck, insieme ad altre celebri fiabe come Barbablù; la loro caratteristica era quella di nascondere l'orrore attraverso la comicità, o l'ironia. Celebri divennero anche le versioni create da Charles Perrault e dai Fratelli Grimm.

Lee M. Owen
The Olive-Tree Bed and Other Quests
Toronto: University of Toronto Press 1997 "The Olive-Tree Bed and Other Quests" the Fourth in the series of Robson Lectures published by the University of Toronto Press is Owen Lee's study of the quest myth as it occurs in Homer's Odyssey Virgil's Aeneid Wagner's Parsifal and Goethe's Faust. Though the four works represent four different genres -- oral epic written epic music drama and poetic drama -- each deals with the finding of an elusive goal attainable only by the hero called to find it. The questing for the olive-tree bed the Golden Bough the Holy Grail and the Eternal Feminine is at the deepest level the hero's search to find the meaning in his life. . this volume is also a personal memoir written in the belletristic style for which its author has become known. Father Lee wears his learning lightly and his writing changes from chapter to chapter as it reflects in turn the clarity and naive sense of wonder in Homer the darkness and ambivalence in Virgil the intuitive mysticism of Wagner and the riotously imaginative exuberance of Goethe. Each of the four quests comes eventually to be seen as every person's search to discover himself -- for the journey of the hero is the myth each of us is called to live. 175. bibliography. index.

Leeming David
MYTH A Biography of Belief
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2003. Paperback. 019516105X . Light creasing to front wrap. Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; Exploring classic works such as the Song of Songs the Tao Te Ching the Rig Veda the New Testament and the Indonesian myth of Hainuwele Myth: A Biography of Belief reveals the cultural energies that ancient "mythmakers" sought to corral in their creations. David Leeming argues that myths are by definition evolving creations that live on in the work of modern-day "mythmakers" such as W. B. Yeats Virginia Woolf and Albert Einstein. Leeming provides an engaging new outlook on the role of myth in the works of these and other contemporary artists and scientists. The similarities between modern concepts like the "Big Bang" and ancient myths of creation illustrate our continuing need to confront the mysteries of existence by way of metaphor and narrative. Leeming suggests that myth and factual knowledge do not negate but complement each other. Whether it is the "American Dream" alien abduction or belief in virgin birth and resurrection these "living myths" play a very therapeutic role in the development of a healthy society. ; 192 pages .

EVE OF THE FESTIVAL Making Myth in Odyssey 19
Harvard University Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2011. Paperback. 0674053354 . Light bump to top of spine and tiny crease to 1 corner. Else fine. ; Eve of the Festival is a study of Homeric myth-making in the first and longest dialogue of Penelope and Odysseus Odyssey 19. This study makes a case for seeing virtuoso myth-making as an essential part of this conversation a register of communication important for the interaction between the two speakers. At the core of the book is a detailed examination of several myths in the dialogue in an attempt to understand what is being said and how. The dialogue as a whole is interpreted as an exchange of performances that have the eve of Apollo�s festival as their occasion and that amount to activating and even enacting the myth corresponding within the Odyssey to the ritual event of the festival. ; Hellenic Studies 47; 368 pages .
