Some of these tales were unfamiliar but vaguely familiar at the same time. Quite a few young ladies forget their shoes nearby a handsome prince, many girls find themselves forced to spin straw into gold (and therefore require some help from a little imp or an old hag), and evil stepmothers are to find everywhere. I found it fascinating to trace the origin and different versions of well-known tales, such as Cinderella. Cuentos para mujeres que fuimos niñas que nos hacen volver a ser niñas y convertirnos en mujer. Muchos se los he narrado a mi hijo, adaptándolos un poco a su edad sobre todo por el lenguaje, y me pide «otro» y «otro» mientras me pregunta «y qué pasó» «y qué pasó». Una delicia. La excelente edición también ayuda 💕 a b c Pyrhonen, Heta (2010). Bluebeard Gothic: Jane Eyre and Its Progeny. Canada: University of Toronto Press. p.216. ISBN 978-1-4426-4124-2. A feral child, whom some nuns have attempted to "civilise" by trying to teach her standard social graces, is left in the house of a monstrous, vampiric Duke when she cannot conform. She gradually comes to realise her own identity as a young woman and human being, and even develops compassion for the Duke, going far beyond the nuns' stunted views of life.

Really a rather nice tale.

The Bloody Chamber - Wikipedia

The stories within The Bloody Chamber are a popular subject for theatrical adaptation. The story "The Bloody Chamber" has been adapted for the theatre more than once, including a performance by the "Zoo District" which was accompanied by an amateur film adaptation of "Wolf-Alice". [24] "The Company of Wolves" is also a popular subject for adaptation by amateur/student theatre groups (e.g. by a Welsh drama college [25]). Angela reivindica, Angela exige con la misma fuerza y determinación con la que trabajó en esta recopilación hasta los últimos días de su vida, ingresada en el hospital. En estos cuentos aparecen pocas hadas pero sí hay mujeres fuertes, inteligentes, pícaras, habilidosas que nos permiten respirar tranquilas mientras los leemos pues sabemos que lograrán salir adelante. Mujeres que se tienen a sí mismas y que no necesitan príncipes azules que las rescaten aunque a veces sí aparezcan «comadres» o animales mágicos que les echan una mano. Mujeres que se ayudan unas a otras, aunque a veces también se enfrentan entre ellas (madrastras sí hay, y muchas, como en esas versiones de distintos países de Blancanieves, Cenicienta, Bella Durmiente). Cuentos que nos invitan a viajar, a soñar, a reír y también a extraer nuestras moralejas. A woman moves in with a mysterious, masked "Milord", the Beast, after her father loses her to him in a game of cards. Milord is eventually revealed to be a tiger. In a reversal of the ending of "The Courtship of Mr Lyon", the heroine transforms at the end into a glorious tigress who is the proper mate to the Beast, who will from now on be true to his own nature and not disguise himself as a human. The story has similarities to the Indian story The Brahman Girl That Married a Tiger as well as ending elements of The Frog Prince.Y quiero mencionar que hay un cuento muy feminista que me ha encantado, en el que un grupo de chicas deciden huir y establecerse todas juntas a raíz del acoso que sufre una de ellas. La base me encanta, pero no me llegó a gustar del todo el final, las cosas como son. Aun así, disfruté bastante de gran parte de este relato, así que quería mencionarlo. First of all, I am not sure what's the genre of this book. Fiction? The tales may be true to some people. Horror? I certainly think so given that some of the fairy tales are horrifying. Fantasy? Perhaps.

The Courtship of Mr Lyon" originally appeared in the British version of Vogue. [5] It was revised for this collection. [6] Bien, ocurre como siempre en los libros de relatos: unos gustan mucho, otros un poco menos y alguno nada de nada. Por eso no es un género que se encuentre entre mis predilectos, porque cada relato es una caja de sorpresas con una balanza en su interior. Y esa es la sensación que me queda. Son historias cortas, de entre una y quince páginas, y es verdad que algunas no me han dicho gran cosa, pero en general me ha parecido un libro entretenido e interesante para conocer los cuentos populares de otras culturas. No obstante, me gustó más otro libro que leí de la autora el año pasado, La cámara sangrienta, que sí tenía relatos originales escritos por ella, retellings siniestros. En este volumen del que os hablo hoy ella recopila, pero no modifica prácticamente nada. quoted in J.J. Adams and D.B. Kirtley, " Reclaiming Sci-Fi's Lost History", Wired, Sept. 28, 2019. Retrieved 1 Oct. 2019. I could see the roots of Grimm’s Fairytales and Mother Goose in these stories, and there were several stories based around the Cinderella theme, Rumpelstiltskin and elements of Snow White. My only issue was that there were many stories that I felt like I had read over and over again by the time I had finished the book. Some were written in slang and in dialect, which made them a little harder to get through (although this wasn’t a problem). Lo que me ha resultado curioso es que hay muchos cuentos que se parecen. Por ejemplo, varios de ellos recuerdan tanto a Piel de asno como a La Cenicienta, hay una especie de versión del cuento de los cisnes que eran príncipes hechizados a los que su hermana tenía que desencantar, y hay uno sobre una leona del que aparecen tres o cuatro versiones diferentes en este libro. Si bien los detalles varían, la trama es la misma: una mujer que se transforma en leona pero que acude a ver a su hija, que sigue siendo humana.Story-wise, it is not the typical fairy tales. They are gruesome, dark, and sometimes disturbing. Children are roasted in oven and fed into their own unsuspecting fathers by, normally, their stepmothers. Mothers get jealous of their own daughters and send the girls to their doom. There are even a few incestuous stories. The stories, collected from all over the world, happen in times where monsters, ghouls, and fairies rule the world; animals talk; and every beautiful girl marries a prince.

Information on the contents of a special edition of "Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies"A girl goes to visit her grandmother, but encounters a werewolf on the way, whose paw she cuts off with a knife. When she reaches her grandmother's house, the paw has turned into a hand with the grandmother's ring on it, and the grandmother is both delirious and missing her hand. This reveals the girl's grandmother as the werewolf, and she is stoned to death. The girl then inherits all of her grandmother's possessions. Ce recueil de contes n’est malheureusement pas traduit en français et le niveau d’anglais est élevé. My intention was not to do 'versions' or, as the American edition of the book said, horribly, 'adult' fairy tales, but to extract the latent content from the traditional stories. [2] The Lady of the House of Love" originally appeared in print in The Iowa Review. [5] However, it was originally written as a radio play entitled Vampirella which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 1976. [7] The story was revised from the previous printed version for this collection.
