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.

THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 2008. Softcover. 0521607264 . A unique resource 'The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology' is essential reading for understanding not only Greek myth but also its enormous impact on art architecture literature politics and philosophy across the ages. More than a compendium of isolated facts 'The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology' is thoughtfully composed by a team of international experts who highlight important themes in three sections. The first part examines oral and written Greek mythology and the uses of these myths from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. The second section looks at the relationship between ancient Greek myth and Greek culture and investigates the Roman appropriation of the Greek mythic tradition. Section three follows the reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity taking in such factors as feminist scholarship cinema and literature. Important for its reach and breadth its integrated approach and its up-to-date treatment 'The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology' is fundamental for anyone seeking a broader understanding of the myths and their influence on western tradition. ; Cambridge Companions to Literature; 552 pages .
