Product Information

Todo un imaginario que Angela rescata desde los inuit hasta Japón pasando por Inglaterra, Birmania o Sudán.

He takes pleasure in her embarrassment, and they consummate their marriage that night, in a bedroom filled with white lilies and mirrors. 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.

La edición es preciosa, con esas ilustraciones tan originales que tiene, además de los extras (apéndices donde se cuenta el origen de cada cuento, un prólogo maravilloso que nos habla de los cuentos de hadas en general y el papel de la mujer en ellos.Based on Beauty and the Beast – the concept of the Beast as a lion-like figure is a popular one, most notably in the French film version of 1946. I think it's a stretch to imagine that trope is about teaching children to ask for help when the lesson that you shouldn't abuse your children, even if you are not their biological parent, is so much more obvious. Hay para todos los gustos: tildes que faltan, cambio de género de personajes de un párrafo a otro, palabras omitidas (ejemplo: "cogió la y se la dio a su hermano").

The brave piano tuner is willing to stay and accompany her even though he knows he will not be able to save her.

It was first published in the United Kingdom in 1979 by Gollancz [1] and won the Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize.The narrator, a beautiful teenage girl, marries an older, wealthy French Marquis, who met her while she was playing the piano at a tea-party. This collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world - from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Muchos de ellos pueden recordar a los cuentos tradicionales actuales, pero están contado en una versión mucho más realista y oscura, en muchos casos incluso macabra.
