Mori G. (cur.)
Filastrocche, ninne nanne, stornelli, rispetti e canzoni di Toscana. Per il gioco dei bambini, per addormentare i pargoli, per le disturne amorose
brossura In Toscana, e specialmente nelle campagne, si cantava: sulle aie, nei campi, nelle fiere di paese, all'osteria, a 'veglia'. Si cantava per passatempo, per attenuare la fatica, per comunicare fra innamorati, per corteggiare la 'bella' o il 'bello', la 'dama' o il 'damo'. Si cantava, sotto forma di stornelli, di rispetti in ottava rima, per far dispetto a qualcuna o qualcuno, per 'prendere in giro' il tonto o il furbo, il giovane o il vecchio, la suocera o la nuora, il contadino o il cittadino, lo stanziale o il forestiero. Si cantava perché la vita sembrasse più gradevole, più sopportabili la miseria e le pene d'amore, più ridenti le gioie dell'amore.

C'era una volta. Riti, miti e vicende storiche che hanno ispirato le fiabe e le favole di tutto il mondo
br. "C'era una volta" recitano molte fiabe e favole da millenni, e questa antica espressione ha l'incredibile potere di catapultare l'ascoltatore in regni fantastici, popolati da orchi, maghi, streghe e folletti. Ma in realtà in ogni storia sopravvivono temi e tradizioni provenienti dal remoto passato. Un passato che accomuna tutti gli esseri umani. Come un messaggio in bottiglia affidato alle onde del mare, le antiche memorie dell'umanità sono giunte sino ai nostri giorni cristallizzate in quelle storie fantastiche. Per questo motivo, soprattutto in epoca moderna, diversi ricercatori hanno tentato di studiarne il significato profondo, scoprendo ciò che mai avremmo immaginato. Tutte le civiltà, più o meno progredite, hanno inventato fiabe e favole veicolando contenuti simili nel corso dei secoli, senza soluzione di continuità, dall'antico Egitto ai romani, dal Medioevo all'epoca moderna del cinema disneyano. In questo libro molte vicende fantastiche prenderanno vita e in alcuni casi, personaggi come Biancaneve, Cenerentola o Hansel e Gretel ritroveranno la loro controparte storica. Gli autori del testo: Alessandro Moriccioni, Andrea Musio, Michele Rossi e Andrea Somma.

C'era una volta. Riti, miti e vicende storiche che hanno ispirato le fiabe e le favole di tutto il mondo
br. C'era una volta... molte fiabe iniziano proprio con queste parole. Ma ci siamo mai chiesti davvero cosa "c'era una volta" e se davvero c'è stato qualcosa? Cosa ha ispirato le più famose fiabe di sempre e quali sono le loro origini? In questo libro gli autori attraversano millenni di storia per decifrare le fiabe e i loro personaggi. Un cammino dall'antico Egitto fino alla nuova "poetica" disneyana per trovare le radici della fiaba moderna: quali sono le fiabe più antiche? Come si interseca la religione con esse? Nel testo, dalla narrazione scorrevole e ben costruita, sarà anche possibile analizzare le prove storiche dell'esistenza di figure credute di fantasia come Biancaneve, Cenerentola, Hansel e Gretel fino a ricostruire le evoluzione dei personaggi e delle loro vicissitudini all'interno delle fiabe più famose.

Guida segreta di Verona. I luoghi. I personaggi. Le leggende
br. Verona, seconda capitale del Veneto, città antichissima e allo stesso tempo proiettata nel futuro, avvinghiata all'Adige e alla Storia, dislocata in un punto strategico della pianura e per questo crocevia inevitabile di vicende e persone: da questo prende le mosse il libro. Un viaggio attraverso la città e il suo territorio in cui realtà, arte, cronaca, mito e leggenda si mescolano nel provare a costruire un'idea di Verona elaborata da chi ha imparato ad amare le sue prospettive. Spesso impreviste e sorprendenti, sempre ricche di suggestioni per chi voglia e sappia guardarle con lo sguardo dell'anima.

Moro Guido
Presepe piemontese. I personaggi della tradizione. Storia curiosità costumi fede attività usanze leggende e superstizioni delle genti del Piemonte
ill., ril. In Piemonte il presepe è presente in molte case, però per il suo allestimento si fa soprattutto uso di statuine classiche, poco adatte a riprodurre la varietà dei costumi e della società subalpina, come richiede un vero presepe popolare. Partendo da questa considerazione, l'autore ha condotto per diversi anni studi approfonditi sia sui presepi più originali e significativi individuati in varie parti della regione, sia sulle tradizioni che spiegano particolari soluzioni presepistiche, sia ancora sui fenomeni etnografici e del folclore locale, in grado di suggerire il profilo dei personaggi di un Presepe Piemontese. Ne è scaturita una galleria di 240 personaggi, dettagliatamente presentati e descritti in questo libro, nel quale vengono anche ricordati avvenimenti storici e aspetti della vita quotidiana, capaci di riprodurre la tipica atmosfera che caratterizzava paesi e città piemontesi nei tempi passati.

The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table has fired the imagination of young and old for centuries.It is the ultimate tale of chivalry and romanceof evil and magicand of betrayal and revenge. In 'ArthurHigh King of Britain' Michael Morpurgo has met the challenge of superbly retelling this great story as it has never been told before. It begins in our own centurywhen a half-drowned boy regains consciousness in a strange sea-cave.The white-bearded man who saved his life introduces himself as Arthur PendragonHigh King of Britain.He says that he has lived close to this rugged seascape with his faithful deerhound Bercelet for fourteen hundred years - 'beyond the reach of time'.As the boy recoversArthur begins his story. Adopted as a baby and brought up in WalesArthur is told by Merlin the magician that he is not only of royal blood but also the rightful king of Britainan astonishing fact confirmed when Arthur passes the supreme test of pulling the sword from the stone. Trained in the arts of kingship by Merlinand presented with the great sword Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake Arthur sets out to rid the country of cruelty and tyranny and to drive back the Saxon invaders.To his court at Camelot come the finest knights in the kingdom to serve his noble causeand the beautiful Guinevere to be his queen.The courageous and chivalrous deeds of Sir LauncelotSir Gawain and Sir Percivaleas well as the sad story of the doomed lovers Tristram and Iseultare poignantly retold by the once great king.Nothing is sadderhoweverthan Arthur's own story.Tricked into infidelity by the evil power of his half-sister Morgana Le Feyhe brings up a childMordredwho is to become a deadly enemy. Worsethe tragic love affair between Launcelot and Guinevere not only deprives him of the two people he loves mostbut alsoby dividing loyalties at Camelotbrings about the destruction of all he has created. Arthur's story is one of the great epicsand this compelling modern versionvividly illustrated by Michael Foremanwill enthral every reader.

Morris Desmond
Civette. Storia, mito e realtà di un mistero nato insieme all'uomo
ill. Simbolo di saggezza ma anche annunciatrici di sventura, le civette sono protagoniste di un mistero vecchio come il mondo e grande come i cinque continenti. Uccelli dalla faccia tonda e dai grandi occhi puntati verso l'ignoto, sembrano poter dominare il mistero della conoscenza meglio degli stessi uomini che, ovunque, le hanno elette a simulacro del sapere. Allo stesso tempo, però, in virtù delle abitudini furtive e crepuscolari, le civette e gli altri rapaci notturni sono trasformati spesso in icone di paura e malvagità. In questo libro Desmond Morris affronta il mito della civetta nella cultura umana - dall'antica Babilonia fino a Harry Potter - confrontando i risultati dell'osservazione scientifica con le leggende e i racconti custoditi dalle tradizioni popolari.

Morrocchi Roberto
Palio e memoria. Ediz. illustrata
ill., br. Un libro in cui l'autore, senese doc, ripercorre con la memoria 50 anni di palio raccontando aneddoti, personaggi, episodi che hanno fatto la storia della festa di Siena. Un ricco puzzle in cui si incastonano le tessere di un mosaico fatto di persone, cavalli, episodi a volte incredibili, leggende nate dalla passione di un popolo che da secoli nel mese di luglio e di agosto è capace di rendere la storia passata presente. Una macchina del tempo ante litteram prodigiosa e magica. Il libro è corredato da stupende fotografie di Mario Appiani e da disegni di Emilio Giannelli dei personaggi che hanno fatto la storia di Siena e del suo Palio.

Moschella Lucia
Ortigia
ill., br. È un'isola consacrata alla luce e al sole: una balconata sul mare. Di qui ci son passati tutti: greci, romani, arabi, normanni. È qui che potrete incontrarli di nuovo. Nei sapori, nelle forme, nei profumi, nelle leggende. Gli strati della storia si sono affastellati e l'Ortigia di oggi vive di Aretusa e funk, anciove e Federico II, mixology e iconografia sacra. Quella che avete tra le mani non è una guida: piuttosto, un taccuino di viaggio con gli aneddoti tante volte raccontati e mostrati ai tanti amici in visita. Intrecciando le testimonianze storiche con le dicerie popolari, i miti greci con i nomi delle persone che tutti i giorni quest'isola la fanno, abbiamo imparato da Ortigia, mescolato la malta di ogni cosa, nel tentativo di restituirvi lo sguardo di chi quest'isola la vive tutti i giorni.
