Description

Son muchos relatos y sin duda se pasa un muy buen rato, aunque a veces la pluma sea un poco compleja y emplee, de vez en cuando, lenguaje soez. The most interesting ones are those that make some bold, baffling, and just weird aesthetic turn, like having Cinderella conceal her beauty under a head of mangy skins, or when a cursed wife gives birth to a hideous baby riding a goat and waving a wooden spoon. Oubliez les gentilles versions de Disney, ici les fées sont plutôt des démons, les morales sont parfois (souvent) douteuses, les contes très intriguant voire, même parfois incompréhensibles et, les personnages tous plus bizarres les uns que les autres.

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). The book is a collection of stories from all over the world, all of which based around a female character. However, she eventually realises that he plans to imprison her by turning her into a bird, which he has done with other girls. I think I'm just not a lover of short stories, I much prefer a long story that I can sink my teeth into, get more invested into the characters and something that is a bit more of a page turner. a b c d e f g Locus Magazine, archived from the original on 6 October 2007 , retrieved 23 April 2007 .Another interesting observation is that, unlike most folktale collections I've read, these stories differ substantially in dialect. 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. In confession I must disclose that for me the tales ranged from, 'I can't follow this' to 'I'm following this but WTF? Bien, ocurre como siempre en los libros de relatos: unos gustan mucho, otros un poco menos y alguno nada de nada.

The Bloody Chamber - Wikipedia

A girl goes to visit her grandmother, but encounters a werewolf on the way, whose paw she cuts off with a knife. Figaro himself finds love with the young woman's cat, and the two cats arrange the fortunes of both themselves and the young man and woman by arranging to trip the old man so that he will fall to his death. However even though I do love fairy tales I have found this to be quite a slog, it has taken me ages to finish and it's only because I don't like to give up on a book that I managed to complete it.

I found it fascinating to trace the origin and different versions of well-known tales, such as Cinderella. While I am not sure if I would use the word feminist to describe the collection, the tales are mostly woman centered, with women as heroines or as a major role. In "The Bloody Chamber", she extrapolates on the importance of symbolism, by placing emphasis on images such as the ominous Gothic castle, the blood on the key, or a blood-red choker awarded the heroine as a wedding gift. El libro además incluye las ilustraciones originales de Corina Sargood, que parecen sombras chinescas y son muy adecuadas a la narración, porque no fijan los personajes a un modelo particular.

Bad-good girls, beasts, rogues and other creatures: Angela

No sé, le dicen que su casa está hechizada y que tiene que desollar a su gato y comerse la piel para desencantarla, y se lo cree.Pero tengo que decir algo negativo, muy negativo: he encontrado faltas de ortografía en casi todas las páginas. However, it was originally written as a radio play entitled Vampirella which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 1976.

Angela se apodera de la voz masculina de los cuentos y los arranca de la misoginia misma para retrotraerlos a sus orígenes, a aquellas épocas en las que los contaban «Mamá ganso» o la abuela de nuestra bisabuela mientras hilaba por la noche al lado del fuego.On the one hand it's a great book to read alongside other books as it is full of short stories so you can just pick it up and read a quick story and it won't disturb whatever else your reading. However, his benefactor – the Beast – take umbrage when he steals a miraculous white rose for his beloved daughter.
