‎Discorso intorno alla maledizione apotropaica. Nella notte dei Cucibocca di Montescaglioso‎

‎brossura La notte del 5 Gennaio, una misteriosa figura ricurva e dall'aspetto malvagio deambula tra le viuzze di un antico centro medievale della Lucania, Montescaglioso, l'antica Civitas Severiana, poi Mons Scabiosus, eretta tra i lunari Calanchi e ricoperta di foglie autunnali, monastica, tra gli aromi del vino nuovo, dell'olio e del fumo dei camini. In preda al terrore, i più piccoli sfuggono all'invettiva dell'orrendo Cucibocca, e piangono al solo pensiero di sentir tra le labbra il dolente filo che le cuce. Per sempre. Il Cucibocca è uno dei fenomeni più singolari e affascinanti dell'intero folclore meridionale: questo saggio etnologico cerca di spiegarne non tanto le agognate origini, quanto il significato del suo modo d'agire.‎

‎Neues Exemplar - Das Unterwegssein prägt das Wesen des Menschen als Wanderer, allein oder in sozialen Gruppen, deren größte die Völkerwanderung war. In den Volksmärchen nahmen die Geschichten darüber einen breiten Raum ein. So zogen die Bremer Stadtmusikanten aus, auf der Suche nach einer besseren Welt und ein armer Junge unternimmt eine Reise in die Hölle, um dem Teufel drei goldene Haare auszureißen. Beate Stauff erläutert die Begriffe Reise, Mobilität, Migration und ihre wechselnden Bedeutungen in den Kinder- und Hausmärchen von Wilhelm und Jakob Grimm. Das Buch vermittelt zudem einen fundierten Überblick über die Entstehung des Märchens als kleine Erzählung seit dem 16.

‎Il mondo delle fiabe‎

‎br. "C'era una volta...ma dove fu? Si potrebbe anche dire: non forse in ogni luogo?" Di che cosa, dunque, parla la fiaba? Non di un tempo: è al di fuori della storia - e non di un luogo, sebbene ogni fiaba porti l'impronta del popolo in cui è nata. La fiaba parla il linguaggio universale degli archetipi, dei "segreti manifesti": in questo percorso attraverso l'opera di Rudolf Steiner, tracciato da Almuth Bockemuehl, scopriamo quale antico tesoro di saggezza sia racchiuso nelle fiabe, e come possa accompagnarci quale vera fonte di vita.‎

‎THE TYRANT'S WRIT Myths and Images of Writing in Ancient Greece‎

‎Princeton University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0691032386 . Light shelfwear to book and DJ. ; 280 pages; Covering material as diverse as curse tablets coins tattoos and legal decrees Deborah Steiner explores the reception of writing in archaic and classical Greece. She moves beyond questions concerning ancient literacy and the origins of the Greek alphabet to examine representations of writing in the myths and imaginative literature of the period. Maintaining that the Greek alphabet was not seen purely as a means of transcribing and preserving the spoken word the author investigates parallels between writing and other signifiers such as omens tokens and talismans; the role of inscription in religious rites including cursing oath-taking and dedication; and perceptions of how writing functioned both in autocracies and democracies. Particularly innovative is the suggestion that fifth-century Greek historians and dramatists portrayed writing as an essential tool of tyrants who not only issue written decrees but also "inscribe" human bodies with brands and cut up land with compasses and rules. The despotic overtones associated with writing inform discussion of its function in democracies. Although writing could promote equal justice ancient sources also linked this activity with historical and mythical figures who opposed the populist regime. By examining this highly nuanced portrayal of writing Steiner offers a new perspective on ancient views of written law and its role in 5th-century Athenian democracy. .

‎A POETRY RECITAL.‎

‎pp. vi, 36, (1)[Publisher's catalogue]. Uncut. Endpapers age stained. Small 8vo. Original full paper binding. Hardbound. First Edition. Very Good plus. James Stephens (1882-1950) was left fatherless in the Dublin slums at the age of two. His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings. During this time he published several pieces which focused on Irish national pride, the importance of learning one's Irish language and customs, and remembering the ancient saga heroes. Stephens met many of his great contemporaries during this period including George Russell (AE), George Moore, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, etc. In the year 1912, Stephens published The Charwoman's Daughter and later in the same year his noted work The Crock of Gold. The Crock of Gold was a great success and Stephens moved to Paris so he could concentrate on writing full time. Cynthia Kavanagh who had been his lover since 1907 accompanied him. He later married her in 1919. The Demi-Gods was published in 1914 and in 1915 he moved back to Dublin to become the Registrar of the National Gallery of Ireland (and stayed in that position till 1924). Stephens witnessed the shooting of a man as a result of the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916. This became a turning point for him as the event intensified his patriotic feelings and renewed his interest in old Irish literature. Stephens moved to London in the year 1925. He began a series of lecture tours which extended to the United States. In 1935 Stephens began a literary and personal friendship with James Joyce. His colleagues considered Stephens to be a genius who easily embraced fantasy, philosophy, and comedy - those who read him today will still be struck by his genius. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
