Book The Sorcerer s Apprentice

Download or read book The Sorcerer s Apprentice written by Jack Zipes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" might conjure up images of Mickey Mouse from the Disney film Fantasia, or of Harry Potter. As this anthology reveals, however, "sorcerer's apprentice" tales--in which a young person rebels against, or complies with, an authority who holds the keys to magical powers--have been told through the centuries, in many languages and cultures, from classical times to today. This unique and beautifully illustrated book brings together more than fifty sorcerer's apprentice stories by a plethora of writers, including Ovid, Sir Walter Scott, and the Brothers Grimm. From Goethe's "The Pupil in Magic" to A.K. Ramanujan's "The Guru and His Disciple," this expansive collection presents variations of a classic passed down through countries and eras. Readers enter worlds where household objects are brought to life and shape-shifting occurs from human to animal and back again. We meet two types of apprentice: "The Humiliated Apprentice," a foolish bumbler who wields magic ineffectively and promotes obedience to authority; and "The Rebellious Apprentice" who, through ambition and transformative skills, promotes empowerment and self-awareness. In an extensive introduction, esteemed fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes discusses the significance and meaning of the apprentice stories, the contradictions in popular retellings, and the importance of magic as a tool of resistance against figures who abuse their authority.

Book Studies in Medieval English Romances

Download or read book Studies in Medieval English Romances written by Derek Brewer and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1988 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the literary form of romance has greatly increased over the past few years and begins to equal that of tragedy. Romance is seen as a potent model of life equal but opposite to tragedy. The modern widespread realisation that art its most powerful is not necessarily a direct realistic 'imitation' or mimesis of ordinary life, together with the accompanying interest in fantasy, folktale and science fiction, have all opened out new vistas of literary experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zu allen Zeiten begeisterten Märchen Groß und Klein. Die Großmütter saßen am Bett ihrer Enkel oder im gemütlichen Ohrensessel und lasen ihnen uralte Geschichten von den Gebrüder Grimm und anderen Märchenerzähler vor. In jener alten Zeit, in denen Fernsehen, die Sozialen Medien und Smartphon noch keine Zeitfresser waren, versammelten sich die Familien und manchmal auch mit den Nachbarn, Freunden und Bekannten in der mit Petroleum erhellten Stube, nahe am wärmegebenden Kamin oder prächtigen Kachelofen und sie lauschten den Sagen und Erzählungen von fantasiebegabten Menschen. Oder sie vernahmen gebannt die schaurigen Geschichten und Erzählungen aus dem Dorf, dem Tal, der Region, die seit Generationen von Mund zu Mund weitererzählt und immer wieder neu ausgeschmückt worden sind. So entstanden zahlreiche Spukgeschichten und Sagen, Mythen und unglaubliche Erzählungen, die uns heute begeistern und zum Schmunzeln anregen. Lesbar sind sie allemal solche Märchen wie das vom Rotkäppchen und dem Wolf oder Hans im Glück, um nur zwei Beispiele zu nennen. Oder kennen sie die schöne Lau aus dem Blautopf? Haben sie schon einmal etwas vom Schicksal des Peter Munk gehört?
