Fiabe dei fratelli Grimm

Rate this book
Fiabe dei fratelli Grimm è un audiolibro proposto da Alfaudiobook. Antonio Gramsci tradusse, con l'intenzione di mandarle ai suoi nipoti, alcune favole dei fratelli Grimm mentre si trovava in carcere. Pubblicate oggi per la prima volta in versione audio, le famose favole di Cappuccetto Rosso, La bella addormentata nel bosco, Biancaneve e Cenerentola, sono non solamente un'incantata raccolta per bambini ma, grazie alla traduzione dell'autore, una suggestione per gli adulti, un'opera paragonabile per valore simbolico ai racconti di Hoffmann e di Poe. La lettura è affidata a Nicola Stravalaci.

Antonio Francesco Gramsci was an Italian Marxist philosopher, linguist, journalist, writer, and politician. He wrote on philosophy, political theory, sociology, history, and linguistics. He was a founding member and one-time leader of the Italian Communist Party. A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini and fascism, he was imprisoned in 1926, where he remained until his death in 1937.

During his imprisonment, Gramsci wrote more than 30 notebooks and 3,000 pages of history and analysis. His Prison Notebooks are considered a highly original contribution to 20th-century political theory. Gramsci drew insights from varying sources — not only other Marxists but also thinkers such as Niccolò Machiavelli, Vilfredo Pareto, Georges Sorel, and Benedetto Croce. The notebooks cover a wide range of topics, including the history of Italy and Italian nationalism, the French Revolution, fascism, Taylorism and Fordism, civil society, the state, historical materialism, folklore, religion, and high and popular culture.
Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class — the bourgeoisie — use cultural institutions to maintain wealth and power in capitalist societies. In Gramsci's view, the bourgeoisie develops a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. He also attempted to break from the economic determinism of orthodox Marxist thought, and so is sometimes described as a neo-Marxist. He held a humanistic understanding of Marxism, seeing it as a philosophy of praxis and an absolute historicism that transcends traditional materialism and traditional idealism.

Spesso ci si sbalordisce nel pensare che i fratelli Grimm fossero talvolta così cruenti nelle loro fiabe, ma in realtà colsero il perfetto meccanismo degli uomini memoria dell'antica Grecia, i quali compresero che per poter ricordare il filo rosso di una storia, bisognava creare uno stato di shock nell'ascoltatore, così da imprimere la morale ed il racconto. Per questo in Cenerentola si leggono di talloni tagliati, dita mozzate e teste decapitate, e tutto scorre magnificamente nel mondo delle fantasie e dei "vissero felici e contenti". Occhio alla fiaba "la moglie del pescatore", aimé dimenticata ma di una bellezza commovente. Libro prezioso

Molto molto macabre ma assolutamente affascinanti da leggere. Ho trovato molti risvolti comici che strappano anche qualche risata (anche se dubito sia stato intenzionale 😅).
