Stories From Pentamerone
Giambattista Basile
Book Overview:
This is one of the oldest written collections of fairy tales. Although the names are different, listeners should recognize many of the stories as the basis of modern fairy tales. Be warned however, that these stories are a lot more violent and gruesome then the Disney versions you may be familiar with. Parents should listen to the files to gauge their suitability before allowing children to listen to them.

But Antoniello would not listen to reason. He made sure the King would kill Cienzo for his fault and said, "Don't stand here at risk of your life; but march off this very instant, so that nobody may hear a word, new or old, of what you have done. A bird in the bush is better than a bird in the cage. Here is money. Take one of the two enchanted horses I have in the stable, and the dog which is also enchanted, and tarry no longer here. It is better to scamper off and use your own heels than to be touched by another's; better to throw your legs over your back than to carry your head between two legs. If you don't take your knapsack and be off, none of the Saints can help you!"

تعتبر قصص باسيلي من أقدم قصص الحكايات الشعبية والخرافية القادمة من القرن السابع عشر ميلادي 17م من التراث الإيطالي وغيره. ليس ثمة رابط بينها فهي أشبه بمجموعة قصصية كما نطلق عليها اليوم – حكايات – لكنها من الأدب الفنتازي تقرأ مثله في قصص ألف ليلة وليلة بما ماهو أفضل منها بكثير. هذا النوع من القصص مشاب
This is a quite unique reading experience and an extraordinary translation from Nancy Canepa. It's hard to remember a book so packed with mad life and weird wisdom.
Fifty fairy tales, told over five nights, from Italy over two centuries before the Brothers Grimm.
These tales weren't exactly for the little ones, as the subtitle suggests. Lots of excrement, sex, and racism. And obscure references--jokes about Italian culture of the time--that you're constantly hav
Una de las colecciones de cuentos populares más antiguas de Europa, toda una joya. A veces el lenguaje de Basile es demasiado "Barroco" (él no se limitó a copiar los cuentos, usó un lenguaje más culto y literario), pero es una obra de gran belleza, con cuentos que se alejan de esa imagen de cancione
