Wlislocki Heinrich Von; Cagna Ninchi P. (cur.)
Credenze popolari e usanze religiose zigane
br. L'autore, Heinrich von Wlislocki, etnofilologo di metà 800, ha raccolto e salvato, con un'esperienza diretta frequentando per mesi comunità di rom nomadi transilvani e dell'area balcanica, un patrimonio unico sia per la ricchezza di documentazione di tradizioni popolari fino ad allora di esclusiva trasmissione orale sia per la disponibilità di testi nella lingua originale, il romanès.

Wolff Karl Felix
I monti pallidi. Storie e leggende delle Dolomiti
br. La magia dei racconti millenari delle Dolomiti, le montagne che il sole ogni sera dipinge di un rosa incantato. Leggende e storie fatate che dai tempi più remoti i ladini tramandano ai figli, e ai figli dei figli. Il patrimonio folcloristico di queste antiche genti avvolge queste pagine abitate da re, nani, salvarie, vivane, principesse vanitose che rubano la luce dell'alba, geni delle acque, bregostene che vivono nei boschi, laghi colorati da arcobaleni disciolti. Sono fiabe che scivolano sul ghiacciaio della Marmolada, passeggiano nelle selve della val Gardena, che si arrampicano sulle vette del monte Cristallo fino a portarci sullo specchio lucente del lago di Lagorài cullati dal vento delle storie più remote dei nostri popoli.

Wolff Karl Felix
Rododendri bianchi delle Dolomiti
br. «Ai rododendri bianchi si attribuiscono poteri magici e virtù salutari. Crescono in luoghi nascosti che ancor oggi vengono tenuti segreti da chi li conosce.» Si conclude con questo terzo volume la raccolta di leggende delle Dolomiti di Karl Felix Wolff. Un percorso che si snoda dalle cime del Catinaccio all'Antelao, dalla Valle di Siusi alla Val di Fassa, da Dobbiaco al monte Póre, dal passo di Costalunga alle pendici del Latemar. In compagnia della Samblana, la regina dell'inverno, insieme a principi, principesse e re, nani e giganti, contadini e soldati, la tradizione orale delle Dolomiti viene ricostruita e «restaurata» in queste pagine attraverso i vari racconti dei pochi e restii narratori sopravvissuti.

Woodford, Susan
IMAGES OF MYTHS IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
Cambridge University Press. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Minor pencil marginalia to some pages by Jenifer Neils.; Stories take time to tell; Greek and Roman artists had to convey them in static images. How did they go about it How could they ensure that their scenes would be recognized What problems did they have How did they solve them This generously illustrated book explores the ways classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how these inventions could be adapted developed and even transferred to other myths; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there were with daily life and historical propaganda; the influence of changing tastes and problems still outstanding. Examples are drawn from a wide range of media--vases murals mosaics sarcophagi sculpture--used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The myths are mostly those that are also easily recognized in later works of art. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed all examples are illustrated and all names terms and concepts are fully explained. Susan Woodford teaches Greek and Roman art at the University of London and is engaged in research for the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the British Museum. A former Fullbright Scholar and Woodrow Wilson Fellow she and is author of The Parthenon Cambridge 1981 The Art of Greece Cornell 1993 An Introduction to Greek Art Cornell 1986 and The Trojan War in Ancient Art Cornell 1993.; 10.2 X 7.2 X 0.9 inches; 332 pages . 0521782678 .
