Dans tous les contes, mythes et légendes, les princesses ont toujours raison : ce sont elles qui consentent, qui décident, qui agissent. Elles ont un atout extraordinaire : leur grande sensibilité, qui leur permet de détecter les signaux faibles et de triompher des emmerdes. Dans ce livre, Fabrice Midal propose une lecture philosophique et décapante de cette sagesse dont nous avons hérité mais que nous négligeons. Autrefois, ces histoires n'étaient pas destinées aux enfants : elles s'adressaient aux adultes pour éclairer l'énigme de la condition humaine. Véhiculant un savoir profond, ces histoires donnent des clés pour affronter toutes les formes de violence, d'ignorance et de haine que nous rencontrons dans nos sociétés actuelles.

"This study posits that the meanings of enchantment can be rationally described, but wondertales need to be elucidated in their own terms, as opposed to bringing preset external theories to bear on the stories. The argument sets out to reveal the symbolic framework of wondertales as a genre. It underlines the stability of symbolic patterns tales across space and time, as well as the adaptability of the myriad variants to specific historical settings-hence, the evolution of the texts in tune with their contexts.Going beyond rigid distinctions of oral vs. literary vs. cinematic retellings, this book shows that the comparison of all sorts of variants is helpful to understand the tales. It would not be wrong to say that it proposes a mental ethnography of the wondertale - a cartography of its symbolic landscape – up to the present day. Along the way, it revisits a number of received ideas (such as the centrality of male protagonists, the inherent victimhood of feminine characters, and the immanent misogyny of the tales) in light of oral retellings and older literary strata of the wondertale tradition."

"In this capstone book, fairy tale expert Jack Zipes has assembled what he describes as his last theoretical and critical study of fairy tales. His purpose is to create a coherent collection that pays tribute to a group of writers that he views as "survivors with a mission" whose tales inspire readers to this day. The book begins with a substantial introduction in which Zipes discusses the history of his interest in fairy tales and the motivation for his scholarship in the field. In a world filled with conflict, he writes, "fairy tales can be used for enlightenment by all of us or abused by small groups of powerful people who seek domination." The main text includes thirteen essays on notable authors of fairy tales-Édouard Laboulaye, Kurt Schwitters, Béla Bálazs, Christian Bärmann, Charles Godfrey Leland, Mariette Lydis, Ernst Bloch, Paul Vaillant-Couturier, Hermynia zur Mühlen, Lisa Teztner, Felix Salten, Emery Kelen, and Gianni Rodari-many of whom lived through revolutions and world wars or were otherwise compelled to confront political oppression during their lives. Zipes considers their cultural significance and their contributions to fairy tale literature, arguing that each deserves greater attention and appreciation. Some of the chapters have been adapted from previously published introductions Zipes wrote for the Oddly Modern Fairy Tales series, which he edits, and others are adapted from scholarly volumes that Zipes has published over his long career as a self-identified "scholarly scavenger" of largely forgotten tales. Together, they create a portrait of the political stakes that have animated Zipes's lifelong fascination with the fairy tale, and explain why readers and writers alike continue to return to this narrative form"--

Rien ne va plus à Krasnaïa depuis qu'un incendie volontaire a ravagé le Bois Rouge. Le cheval prudent que les animaux se sont donné pour Régent sera-t-il à la hauteur du crime ? Ou faudra-t-il le remplacer, lors des Dragatiques, par un animal moins mou ? Et qui alors, de l'ânon furieux, de l'ourse animaliste ou du jeune loup, recevra l'onction de la horde ? Comment se conduiront les albinos ? Les femellistes ? Les enragés (si tant est qu'ils existent) ? Et les inordinaires ? Mystère. Les renards tenteront-ils de se soustraire à la loi commune ? Les hirondelles feront-elles basculer l'opinion vers la haine ? L'art de la discussion suffira-t-il à contenir la violence ? Nées trop tard dans un monde trop juste, les bêtes parviendront-elles à supporter la paix, ou céderont-elles, de nouveau, à la tentation de se faire la guerre ?
