Abstract

Comment expliquer l'ampleur du succès mondial et la fascination des lecteurs de 7 à 77 ans au sujet de Harry Potter ? Quelles sont les raisons du charme et de "l'ensorcellement" des lecteurs ? Le livre une fois ouvert attire irrésistiblement le lecteur, pourquoi ? A quel monde rêvent nos enfants ? Conçu comme un palimpseste où se superposent plusieurs couches de références, son texte est à la jonction d'un passé commun à tous les peuples. Dans ce conte de fées moderne qui fonde sa morale sur un souci écologique et sur une rationalité empreinte d'humanisme et de non-violence, le combat entre le Bien et le Mal peut parfois mener au devoir de désobéissance.

Abstract

In the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale a penniless heroine (or hero), with some magic help, marries a royal prince (or princess) and rises to wealth. Received opinion has long been that stories like these originated among peasants, who passed them along by word of mouth from one place to another over the course of centuries. In a bold departure from conventional fairy tale scholarship, Ruth B. Bottigheimer asserts that city life and a single individual played a central role in the creation and transmission of many of these familiar tales. According to her, a provincial boy, Zoan Francesco Straparola, went to Venice to seek his fortune and found it by inventing the modern fairy tale, including the long beloved Puss in Boots, and by selling its many versions to the hopeful inhabitants of that colorful and commercially bustling city. With innovative literary sleuthing, Bottigheimer has reconstructed the actual composition of Straparola's collection of tales. Grounding her work in social history of the Renaissance Venice, Bottigheimer has created a possible biography for Straparola, a man about whom hardly anything is known. This is the first book-length study of Straparola in any language.
