Raydon Valéry
Il libro dei titani. Ediz. italiana e francese
ill., br. In un cofanetto, Valéry Raydon, noto in Francia per i suoi studi sulla mitologia, racconta con competenza, umorismo, tenerezza e vivacità uno dei miti più antichi: La nascita dei Titani, i primi dei Greci che regnarono sull'universo all'inizio dei tempi. Egli sa, quasi come un antico aedo, coinvolgere il lettore, mettendolo al centro della vittoria raccontata togliendo dalla nostra memoria la polvere su questi dei oscuri che furono i fondatori del mondo. Non ingannino i disegni a colori, frutto della grande fantasia dell'autore che arricchiscono e commentano il racconto del mito descritto con lo spirito epico e la forza selvaggia e maestosa di Urano, Crono e della loro terribile famiglia. "La Storia dei Titani" è un libro che si rivolge a giovani ed adulti, disposti a farsi coinvolgere in una lettura ricca di spunti culturali, mitologici e fantastici. Il volume si presenta in forma bilingue, italiana e francese. Può quindi anche proporsi come utile esercizio di comprensione linguistica. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Rees Alwin; Rees Brinley
L'eredità celtica. Antiche tradizioni d'Irlanda e del Galles
ill. Un ampio e serio saggio che, lungi dall'identificare la civiltà dei Celti con i simboli della New Age di altre interpretazioni alla moda, analizza le antiche tradizioni dell'Irlanda e del Galles attraverso i testi del francese Dumézil, del romeno Eliade, dell'austriaco Zimmer, dell'anglo indiano Coomaraswamy e, poi, dell'americano Campbell con riferimenti anche alle teorie dello psicologo svizzero Jung. I miti celtici sono visti dai due autori come dei serbatoi dell'immaginario collettivo occidentale, portatori di significati che non si possono completamente ricondurre alle categorie della ragione, o spiegare per mezzo della storia e della scienza.
