Prezzemolina viene rinchiusa in una torre incantata da un’orchessa malvagia. Ma grazie alle sue lunghe trecce e al coraggio di un principe troverà la strada della libertà... Le 30 grandi fiabe come non ve le hanno mai narrate. Per bambini che sanno leggere e non. Un’esperienza di narrazione immersiva, con un testo recitato da attori, musica, effetti sonori speciali e illustrazioni a colori. La voce narrante e ogni personaggio hanno voci diverse facilmente riconoscibili. Tanti suoni e rumori (porta che si chiude, vento che soffia, oggetto che si frantuma), collegati agli avvenimenti della fiaba, arricchiscono l’esperienza narrativa facilitando il coinvolgimento dei più piccoli. Così come la musica di sottofondo e le segnalazioni sonore per voltare pagina. Le voci degli attori sono sincronizzate con il testo che viene di volta in volta evidenziato per permettere ai bambini di associare la voce al testo e di sapere quando una pagina è stata completamente letta. Per i bambini più grandi e per i genitori che vogliono leggere le fiabe ad alta voce le funzionalità di narrazione audio sono disattivabili. Le UNICHE grandi fiabe con narrazione immersiva disponibili in eBook (non si tratta di App). Solo per Tablet e Smartphone. Non idonee per fruizione su eReader.

A Translation of Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales

release date: Aug 01, 2018
A Translation of Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales
Composed in the 1630s, Giambattista Basile''s The Tale of Tales, later known as the Pentameron, is a sophisticated, affectionate, often wicked parody of Boccaccio''s 14th century masterpiece, the Decameron, containing fifty tales within an intricate framing story. Importantly, among its stories are the earliest literary versions of famous fairy tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, The Sleeping Beauty and Hansel and Gretel. This is only the fourth translation of the complete text into English. With its scholarly introduction, notes, and up-to-date bibliography, it will appeal to anyone studying European literature or the fairy tale in general, its history and subsequent development, as well as anyone wishing to trace specific themes within the genre and their different treatments."

Das Pentamerone oder: Das Märchen aller Märchen

Le conte des contes

release date: Feb 19, 2015
Le conte des contes
Ecrit en langue napolitaine, sous l''anagramme Gianlesio Abbattutis, autour de 1625, et édité, posthume, en 1634-1636, Lo cunto de li cunti de Giambattista Basile n''a jamais fait l''objet d''une traduction intégrale en français. Il s''agit pourtant de l''une des productions majeures de la littérature européenne du XVIIe siècle. Il peut être considéré comme un recueil de contes pour enfants, ainsi que son sous-titre l''indique et l''on peut tenter de rechercher quelle inspiration les contes du Napolitain avaient pu fournir à Perrault ou à Grimm. D''autres critiques, comme Italo Calvino, hésitent à inclure Basile dans ce patrimoine, préférant souligner la richesse de l''invention métaphorique et le délire de l''imagination voyageant du «sublime au sordide». Ainsi selon Calvino «le Conte des contes est le rêve d''un Shakespeare napolitain difforme, obsédé par tout ce qui est effroyable, n''ayant jamais son compte de sorcières et d''ogres, fasciné par les images alambiquées et grotesques, où la vulgarité se mêle au sublime». Et sans doute ont-ils raison. Mercenaire à la solde de la Sérénissime République de Venise, académicien, courtisan au contact des centres culturels les plus prestigieux d''Italie, Venise d''abord, et Mantoue où sa soeur, la chanteuse Adriana Basile régnait en diva, poète dilettante et gouverneur de fiefs provinciaux aux environs de Naples, Basile est un «aventurier de la plume». Le Conte des contes n''est pas seulement un conte (celui de la princesse Zoza, que Lucia, l''esclave mauresque aux jambes de sauterelle, dépossède du prince qu''elle a ressuscité par ses pleurs) qui engendre d''autres contes (ceux que les femmes racontent à Lucia à qui Zoza a donné l''envie irrépressible d''entendre des histoires), c''est un monument narratif qui orne et enrichit les structures élémentaires du merveilleux d''une expérience d''artiste et d''homme.
