内容介绍

神奇的意大利民间和童话故事集--其中大部分是首次以英语出版

石榴和其他现代意大利童话》收录了 1875 年至 1914 年意大利政治统一后出版的二十篇神奇故事。

在这几十年的政治和社会变革中，民俗学家收集了全国许多地区的童话故事，而有影响力的作家则借鉴当地方言的传统故事，

用标准意大利语创作了原创叙事故事，并从法国翻译了其他童话故事。这本童话集收录了这些有趣的瑰宝，

作者包括因小说《木偶奇遇记》而闻名的卡洛-科洛迪和被誉为意大利格林的多梅尼科-孔帕雷蒂，

以及唯一一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的意大利女性格拉西亚-德莱达。除了一个例外，所有这些故事都是首次以英文出版。

本卷中的故事以变形为主题：一个男人变成了狮子、鸽子和蚂蚁；一个英俊的年轻人从猪的身体里钻出来；三个可爱的女人从石榴皮里爬出来。

还有更多内省的变化：自恋的公主学会了礼貌，忧郁的王子重新找到了快乐，

自满的少女发现了感恩。克里斯蒂娜-马佐尼（Cristina Mazzoni）提供了全面的介绍，将这些故事置于其文化和历史背景中。

故事集还包括当时的插图和作者传记。

石榴和其他现代意大利童话》充满了冒险、超自然和奇妙的事件，以及勇敢而又有缺陷的主人公，将给读者带来欢乐、惊喜和惊奇。

A collection of magical Italian folk and fairy tales―most in English for the first time

The Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales presents twenty magical stories published between 1875 and 1914, following Italy’s political unification. In those decades of political and social change, folklorists collected fairy tales from many regions of the country while influential writers invented original narratives in standard Italian, drawing on traditional tales in local dialects, and translated others from France. This collection features a range of these entertaining jewels from such authors as Carlo Collodi, most celebrated for the novel Pinocchio, and Domenico Comparetti, regarded as the Italian Grimm, to Grazia Deledda, the only Italian woman to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature. With one exception, all of these tales are appearing in English for the first time.

The stories in this volume are linked by themes of metamorphosis: a man turns into a lion, a dove, and an ant; a handsome youth emerges from a pig’s body; and three lovely women rise out of the rinds of pomegranates. There are also more introspective transformations: a self-absorbed princess learns about manners, a melancholy prince finds joy again, and a complacent young woman discovers gratitude. Cristina Mazzoni provides a comprehensive introduction that situates the tales in their cultural and historical context. The collection also includes period illustrations and biographical notes about the authors.

Filled with adventures, supernatural and fantastic events, and brave and flawed protagonists, The Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales will delight, surprise, and astonish.
