حكايات شعبية إيطالية حكايات إيتالو كالفينو #2

Rate this book
كتاب الحكايات الشعبية هو عالم مغلق ظاهريا ولكنه يتعدد وينشأ عنه عدد لانهائي من العوالم المحتملة، فليس هناك حد لعدد الحكايات التي يمكن أن يكونها أو يكتبها قارئ شغوف بالحكايات الإيطالية. وعندما يغلق الكتاب لا يتبقى أمامه سوى البدء في إنتاج نصوص أخرى كأحد الكتب اللانهائية التي نتجت عن الكتاب عن الكتاب الأول الذي نجح كالفينو في قراءته وفهمه.

About the author

Italo Calvino

557 books9,083 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."

Questo libro me lo fecero prendere a scuola, come lettura per le vacanze estive. Credo che a tutti più o meno toccò in sorte. Rispetto però ad altre letture imposte, questa era di Calvino, insomma mica del primo passato.

E infatti anche se ovviamente queste fiabe non sono state scritte da lui, ma sono state raccolte e curate dall'autore, sono molto Calviniane; tante fiabe, di tutt'Italia, alcune bellissime, altre crudeli, alcune per bambini, altre per ragazzi, qualcuna forse per adulti.

"Le fiabe sono vere", disse Calvino. E infatti molte lo sono. Tra magia e mistero, un bellissimo viaggio nel mondo della nostra tradizione popolare, che è varia, multicolore, incredibilmente potente. Ancora oggi è uno dei testi che conservo con maggiore affetto e di cui non potrei mai separarmi, insieme alla raccolta dei fratelli Grimm.

«Le fiabe di Calvino piacciono ai piccoli e ai grandi; sono un capolavoro della letteratura, che affonda le sue radici nella tradizione popolare. Calvino ne è l'autore in quanto ha organizzato, rielaborato e trascritto il meglio dell'immenso patrimonio fiabistico del folclore italiano, che gli studiosi avevano raccolto dalla viva voce del popolo» (E. Zamponi).

Da leggere e da conservare.
