Los relatos incluidos en este mítico volumen, recogidos por Angela Carter, no son para niños. En ellos encontramos sangre, humor, sexo y muerte. No hay princesas ñoñas ni hadas maravillosas, sino jóvenes astutas, ancianas taimadas, chicas malas, hechiceras, parteras vengativas, mozas ladronas, novias rastreras, madres, hijas y hermanas raras. Solo una escritora tan radical como Angela Carter podría haber sido capaz de recopilar esta antología de relatos, todos protagonizados por mujeres, una celebración del universo femenino a través de los tiempos, ilustrado con los grabados originales de la edición inglesa. This beautifully presented edition is a compendium of two earlier anthologies of folk stories, both collected by Angela Carter. They come from across the globe, with the unifying characteristic that all the stories feature women. The women aren't always favourably presented, and there's something unsettling in the fact that the "happy ending" often involves living happily ever after with a prince. Nonetheless, there's something strangely refreshing about the straightforward nature of these tales, and a fascination in their similarities and differences despite their widely varying origins. Ultimately though, I think the bit I enjoyed most was Marina Warner's afterword, a lyrical tribute to Carter and her outlook on the world. I'm not sure whether that makes this a recommendation or not. A collection of folklore from around the world, tales of wise women, crafty witches and resourceful maidens… the feminist theme doesn’t intrude on the stories, just makes it a more cohesive collection than most fable anthologies. There’s an all-too-short yet interesting forward by Carter, and the woodcut illustrations are a lovely accompaniment. Considering that I’ve been meaning to read something of the work of Angela Carter for a long time, I’m a bit nonplussed to find myself starting with a book she compiled and edited rather than wrote, but I’m not sorry I bought this volume, because it’s a marvellous anthology that brings a bit of girly sass to my otherwise male-dominated fable/folklore shelf. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

When Life is anything but a fairytale, Folklore is there to help you escape. This outstanding collection created by the inimitable Angela Carter is THE volume to grace every reader's bookcase. A plethora of tales from every corner of our world centred around female protagonists that represent all the beautiful and evil aspects of the human soul. Brave women, resourceful girls, virtuous maidens, witches, troubled matriarchs, strong minds and cunning tricks, women delving into black arts, mothers, wives, daughters, morality tales and cautionary myths.
