Jack Zipes

    7 de julio de 1937

    Jack David Zipes es un profesor emérito de literatura alemana que se sumerge profundamente en el mundo de los cuentos de hadas. Su obra se centra en sus raíces lingüísticas y argumenta su crucial "función de socialización". Zipes postula que los cuentos de hadas no solo ofrecen compensación, sino también revelación, y que los mejores entre ellos exponen las discrepancias entre la verdad y la falsedad en nuestra sociedad, basándose en la teoría crítica neomarxista de la Escuela de Frankfurt. Su erudición se distingue por un enfoque agudo y a menudo ingenioso en el análisis de estas narrativas perdurables.

      The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

    • The master of wit and irony Published here alongside their evocative original illustrations, these fairy tales, as Oscar Wilde himself explained, were written “partly for children, and partly for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy.”
