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 ?

This book investigates Basiles contribution to the establishment of fairytales as a literary genre; the focus is on his masterpiece Lo cunto de li Cunti. The volume examines Basiles works debt to tradition and its influence on posterity, while also studying the authors unique use of metaphors in the rich Neapolitan dialect. As this study reveals, metaphors in Lo cunto de li cunti are not used simply as a mean of embellishment; rather they are employed as a way to inform the reader of the.

"The original edition of Salonnières, Furies, and Fairies, published in 2005, was a pathbreaking work of early modern literary history, exploring women's role in the rise of the fairy tale and their use of this new genre to carve out roles as major contributors to the literature of their time. This new edition, with a new introduction and a forward by acclaimed scholar Allison Stedman, emphasizes the scholarly legacy of Anne Duggan's original work, and its continuing field-changing implications. The book studies the works of two of the most prolific seventeenth-century women writers, Madeleine de Scudéry and Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy. Analyzing their use of the novel, the chronicle, and the fairy tale, Duggan examines how Scudéry and d'Aulnoy responded to and participated in the changes of their society, but from different generational and ideological positions. This study also takes into account the history of the salon, an unofficial institution that served as a locus for elite women's participation in the cultural and literary production of their society. In order to highlight the debates that emerged with the increased participation of aristocratic women within the public sphere, the book also explores the responses of two academicians, Nicolas Boileau and Charles Perrault"--
