Hoy me apetece tumbarme en el sofá y leer un buen libro, así que me he puesto a rebuscar en la biblioteca. Historia, poesia, filosofia, novelas...y de pronto encuentro éste "Los mejores cuentos de mundo", de Aurora Diaz-Plaja editado en 1961. Me ha parecido una buena idea pasar la tarde leyendo cuentos. No son para niños, éstos son cuentos que tratan aspectos de la vida como la envidia, la muerte, la holgazanería... luego muchos de ellos se filtraron y se convirtieron en cuentos infantiles de la mano de grandes escritores como los hermanos Grimm.
La autora nos muestra una recopilación de cuentos populares de todas partes del mundo, la mayoría anónimos porque se han transmitido de padres a hijos durante siglos. Consta de varias partes, cada una detallada con ilustraciones tan bonitas como éstas que veis aquí y cada cuento también está acompañado de un pequeño dibujo; todos son de Costa Salanova, ilustrador de la antropologia humana, vale la pena entrar en alguno de sus blogs. Y ahora, al cuento!
Today I feel like lying on the couch and read a good book, so I began to rummage through the library. History, poetry, philosophy, novels ... and suddenly find it "The best stories of the world," from Aurora Diaz-Plaja released in 1961. I thought a good idea to spend the afternoon reading stories. Not for children, these are stories that deal with aspects of life such as envy, death, laziness ... then many of them were leaked and became the children's stories by great writers like the brothers Grimm.
The author shows a collection of folk tales from around the world, mostly anonymous because they are passed from father to son for centuries. Consists of several parts, each detailed with illustrations as beautiful as those you see here and each story is also accompanied by a small drawing, all are from Costa Salanova, illustrator of human anthropology, it is worth entering any of your blogs. And now, the story!
