Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the literary history of a captivating folk tale known as 'The Contending Lovers', tracing its journey from ancient Indian origins through various Persian and Arabic versions, culminating in its widespread adoption in European folklore. The author examines four distinct types of the tale: the Resuscitation tale, in which a maiden is brought back to life; the Rescue tale, which involves saving her from a monster or peril; the Caste tale, where suitors compete based on their social status or accomplishments; and the Creation tale, in which a woman is magically brought to life from inanimate matter. The book explores the evolution of these tale types over centuries, highlighting their common elements and the cultural influences that shaped their development. It examines the significance of the tale's open-ended nature, which invites discussion and interpretation, and discusses its enduring appeal as a source of entertainment, cultural commentary, and philosophical reflection. Through this exploration, the author reveals the tale's rich thematic depth and its insights into human nature, love, and the complexities of choice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333860417_0
