Fiabe di mare

Rate this book
C'era una volta Cola Pesce, che stava in mare da mattina a sera, e il Principe granchio, intrappolato negli abissi per un incantesimo. E poi c'erano l'uomo verde d'alghe, che delle insidie del mare se ne intendeva, e Peppi, che partì con il suo bastimento per conquistare il cuore di una principessa, così come fece Bella Fronte, che sposò la figlia di un sultano. E infine Pidduzzu, sempre per mare alla ricerca di una cura per il Sultano Balalicchi. Sei fiabe dei nostri mari che fanno sognare.
Le fiabe contenute in questo volume sono tratte dalla raccolta Il principe granchio e altre fiabe italiane.

About the author

Italo Calvino

557 books9,134 followers
Italo Calvino was born in Cuba and grew up in Italy. He was a journalist and writer of short stories and novels. His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952-1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If On a Winter's Night a Traveler (1979).

His style is not easy to classify; much of his writing has an air reminiscent to that of fantastical fairy tales (Our Ancestors, Cosmicomics), although sometimes his writing is more "realistic" and in the scenic mode of observation (Difficult Loves, for example). Some of his writing has been called postmodern, reflecting on literature and the act of reading, while some has been labeled magical realist, others fables, others simply "modern". He wrote: "My working method has more often than not involved the subtraction of weight. I have tried to remove weight, sometimes from people, sometimes from heavenly bodies, sometimes from cities; above all I have tried to remove weight from the structure of stories and from language."

6 masaldan oluşan bir kitap bu, her masalın da bir yeri var. Masal oldukları için okuması aşırı keyifli bence. Masalları inanılmaz sevmediğim söylenemez belki ama yine de Calvino’dan masal okumak fikri çokça güzel. Yapıkredi, müthiş bir baskı yapmış tabi ki, kitabın kağıt kalitesinden bile anlıyorsunuz bunu. Ayrıca içindeki çizimler ve çizimlerin sayfaya dağılımları muhteşem. Hayran hayran baktım çoğu sayfaya.

Leuk kinderboek, met traditionele Italiaanse fabels volgens het gekende stramien (genre Roodkapje en de wolf).

Foi o primeiro livro que li em italiano. Gostei muito das histórias e das ilustrações. Foi um desafio engraçado!
