Il volume presenta una ricognizione della letteratura russa per bambini e ragazzi pubblicata in Italia dal 1945 al 1991. Da una parte si dà conto del contesto storico, sociale e letterario dell'Italia del dopoguerra, in cui i libri venivano pubblicati, dall'altra si conduce un'analisi testuale e traduttologica di una selezione di volumi nella cornice teorica dei Translation Studies e degli Adaptation Studies. Il libro si pone tre obiettivi: colmare una lacuna negli studi slavistici che a oggi hanno trattato in maniera discontinua la letteratura per l'infanzia; inserire la letteratura russa per l'infanzia nella storia dell'editoria italiana; trarre alcune osservazioni preliminari circa l'immagine di letteratura russa per l'infanzia creatasi in Italia dal dopoguerra al crollo dell'URSS.

A diverse new anthology that traces the meaning and magic of the sorcerer's apprentice tale throughout history. "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. Twenty specially commissioned black-and-white illustrations by noted artist Natalie Frank bring the stories to visual life.The Sorcerer's Apprentice enlightens and entertains readers with enduring, spellbinding tales of sorcery that have been with us through the ages.
