Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften El Oeste recuperado: La literatura del pasado y
Book SynopsisTolkien no habría estado de acuerdo con el empleo del término Occidente para hablar del espacio legendario y cultural que tenía en mente cuando reconstruyó y re-mitificó el pasado literario en su obra cumbre. El término proviene de la Antigüedad Clásica y no abarca en su origen los territorios del vasto Norte, cuyas tradiciones literarias Tolkien también incorporó en su visión mitificada del Oeste. El Oeste de Tolkien sintetiza leyendas y expresiones literarias del oeste, norte y sur de Europa, y por ello los personajes de El Señor de los Anillos a menudo hunden sus raíces en una multitud de géneros literarios.El presente estudio recorre la evolución de los personajes principales de la obra de Tolkien y explica, entre otras cosas, cómo el diálogo entre diferentes géneros literarios puede dar cuenta de las aparentes incoherencias en el personaje de Aragorn, los diferentes papeles genéricos que desempeña Gandalf a lo largo de la historia, o cómo unos prosaicos hobbits, surgidos de la Inglaterra rural del siglo XIX, son capaces de relacionarse con los antiguos mundos épicos de Rohan y Gondor.

Taschen GmbH The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm
Book SynopsisFrom Snow White to Cinderella, Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin, the Brothers Grimm bequeathed a canon of stories which have become literary and childhood classics. The most widely read story collection after the Bible, their magical tales are stalwarts of early learning and imagination, listed in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register as a vital part of our history and culture. This beautiful hardback anthology is based on the Grimm’s popular 1857 edition and features 27 of their best-loved stories in a vibrant and meticulous new translation commissioned for this publication. The tales are accompanied by exquisite vintage illustrations from the past 200 years, including masterpieces from the legendary Kay Nielsen, British artists Walter Crane and Arthur Rackham, and giants of 19th-century German illustration Gustav Süs, Heinrich Leutemann, and Viktor Paul Mohn. Additional historic and contemporary silhouettes dance across the pages like delicate black paper lace. In addition to the tales and illustrations, the book contains a foreword on the Grimms’ legacy, brief introductions to each fairy tale, and extended artists’ biographies in the appendix. For adults and children alike, this precious edition brings the eternal magic of the Grimms’ stories to the heart of every home.The following fairy tales are featured in the book:The Frog Prince, The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats, Little Brother and Little Sister, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, The Fisherman and His Wife, The Brave Little Tailor, Cinderella, Mother Holle, Little Red Riding Hood, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Devil with Three Golden Hairs, The Shoemaker and the Elves, Tom Thumb’s Travels, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, The Three Feathers, The Golden Goose, Jorinde and Joringel, The Goose Girl, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Star Coins, Snow White and Red Nose, The Hare and the Hedgehog, Puss n’ Boots, The Golden KeyTrade Review“…a truly bewitching coffee-table tome.” * Modern Luxury Interiors *“The perfect addition to any nursery library, it will have readers and listeners spellbound.” * Daily Telegraph *"This gloriously illustrated collection, TASCHEN's first children's book, includes lesser-known tales like 'Little Brother and Little Sister' and 'The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs' along with the favorites... Best are the timeless illustrations, mostly European, gleaned from previously published work from the 1820s to the 1950s. The stories, if not all their characters, live happily ever after." * New York Times Book Review *
