cm. 17 x 24, xii-404 pp. Biblioteca di ?Lares? Le ?Fiabe siciliane? (Lipsia, 1870) di Laura Gonzenbach, la prima grande raccolta commentata di narrazioni popolari italiane, sono analizzate sotto varie angolature: dalla genesi alla storia della ricezione, dall?analisi strutturale e morfologica all?indagine secondo gli indici regionali, nazionali e internazionali di tipi e motivi fiabeschi.

This monograph is dedicated to the first collection of commented popular Italian stories that are analysed from various points of view: from the genesis to the history of their receptivity, from a structural and morphological analysis to an investigation on the regional, national and international indicator of fairy tale themes.

About The Book : The Kath?sarits?gara is a large work. Each book comprises a number of stories loosely strung together, by being narrated for the recreation or information of the same individuals, or arising out of their adventures. These are Udayana, king of Kosambi, and his son Naravahanadatta. The marriage of the latter with various damsels of terrestrial or celestial origin, and his elevation to the rank of king of the Vidyadharas, a class of heavenly spirits, are the leading topics of most of the books; but they merely constitute the skeleton of the composition, the substance being made up of stories growing out of these circumstances, or springing from one another with an ingenuity of intricacy which is one of the great charms of all such collections. About The Author : Somadeva Bhatta was an eleventh century writer from Kashmir.Not much is known about him except that his father's name was Rama and he composed his work (probably during the years 1063-81 CE) for the entertainment of the queen Suryamati, a princess of Jalandhara and wife of King Ananta of Kashmir. The queen was quite distraught as it was a time when the political situation in Kashmir was 'one of discontent, intrigue, bloodshed and despair'.Though he was a Shaiva Brahmin, he was respectful of Buddhism and some of the tales in the Kathasaritsagara show Buddhist influences.Revised by Pansikar Wasudev Laxman Sastri has written famous books, like, Panchdashi with commentary; Yajnavalkya with the commentary, Kavyapradipa (An old and rare book); and many more, the master piece of all is The Ramayana of Valmeki a curious amalgamation of the aforementioned three mediums of teaching.
