Fairy-Tale Science by Magnanini, Suzanne Edition ILL, 0 $25.49 Between 1550 and 1650, Europe was swept by a fascination with wondrous accounts of monsters and other marvels – of valiant men slaying dragons, women giving birth to animals, young girls growing penises, and all manner of fantastic phenomena. Known as 'fairy tales,' these stories had many guises and inhabited a variety of literary texts. The first two collections of such fairy tales published on the continent, Giovan Francesco Straparola's Le piacevoli nottiand Giambattista Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti, were greeted with much enthusiasm at home and abroad and essentially established a new literary genre. Contrary to popular thought, Italy, not Germany or France, was the birthplace of the literary fairy tale.This fascination with the marvellous also extended to the worlds of science, medicine, philosophy, and religion, and many treatises from the period focused on discussions of monsters, demons, magic, and witchcraft. In Fairy-Tale ScienceSuzanne Magnanini looks at these 'science fictions' and explores the birth and evolution of the literary fairy tale in the context of early modern discourses on the monstrous. She demonstrates how both the normative literary theories of the Italian intellectual establishment and the emerging New Science limited the genre's success on its native soil. Natural philosophers, physicians, and clergymen positioned the fairy tale in opposition in opposition to science, fixing it as a negative pole in a binary system, one which came to define both a new type of scientific inquiry and the nascent literary genre. Magnanini also suggests that, by identifying their literary production with the monstrous and the feminine, Straparola and Basile contributed to the marginalization of the new genre.A wide-ranging yet carefully crafted study, Fairy-Tale Scienceinvestigates the complex interplay between scientific discourse and an emerging literary genre, and expands our understanding of the early modern European imagination. |

Angel Park $19.95 An ironic and compelling anti-fairy tale, Angel Park…An American Story provides an inside view of the forces that are strangling public schools-racism, power politics, blind tradition, and outrageous ego-and uncovers the deep erosion in the underlayers of the American Dream. In a fictional city called Cornwall, where the school system echoes the best and the worst of American life, the larger purpose of the public schools seems lost, and creative effort appears useless against the inertia of the status quo. Set in the mid-1990s, as the world hurtles toward the millennium, Angel Park reflects the harsh realities that hold the entire country in conflict and stasis. As she begins to understand the human impulses behind these realities, Constance Demetrios, a divorced school administrator with an empty nest, weathers a petition against the high school principal, the cluelessness of the school board, her boss’s suicide, the humiliation of her favorite co-worker, and, finally, a burning need to escape Cornwall for a better life. In the wilds of upstate New York, she discovers her own answers about school, life, and her purpose-and unravels the philosophical basis for the plight of the postindustrial world. Ultimately, Connie comes upon an astonishing vision of the ways the universe is pushing humanity-and America-toward its own evolution. |

Japanese Animation: From Painted Scrolls to Pokemon $49.95 A sweeping journey through the history of Japanese animation, tracing this cultural phenomenon from its origins in traditional art to the present day. A dominant force in its home country since the 1970s, Japanese animation has become a global phenomenon in recent years. But far from being a contemporary invention, anime draws on the same centuries-old artistic traditions that form the basis of manga. Widely disparaged when it first appeared in the West, today the real value of Japanese animation is recognized, and it has inspired international film directors. Fairy tale, romance, adventure, fantasy, science-fiction: anime encompasses many genres and its creativity knows no bounds. Brigitte Koyama-Richard studies the evolution of Japanese animation through the centuries, retracing its history from painted scrolls to woodblock prints, to animated films, first in black and white, and then in color. A number of prominent artists are showcased, including Tezuka Osamu, the “godfather of anime,” and Hayao Miyazaki, founder of the world-renowned Studio Ghibli and creator of films such as Spirited Away—the first anime film to win an Academy Award. Illustrated with over 500 images, many rarely seen in the West, this book bridges the gap between art history and pop culture. |

Little Mermaid: From the Deep Blue Sea to the Great White Way $21.28 From its first publication as a fairy tale told by Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid has been enthralling children and adults alike with its story of the transforming power of love. In 1989, Disney put little Ariel on film, gave her flaming red hair and an Oscar-winning musical score, and, in the process, reinvented the animated feature as a viable art form. Now the creative powers at Disney have reimagined the mermaid and her friends again, bringing one of Disney’s most beloved princesses to the stage. The Little Mermaid:The Story of a Tale is a look at the process of morphing a 19th-century story and a 20th-century film into a stage event for the 21st century. This oversized, profusely illustrated book traces the evolution of The Little Mermaid from its inception in Denmark, through its triumphant animation, to the hit Broadway stage version now playing in New York. In addition to photographs of the show and its rehearsals, the book will explore the creative process with extensive looks behind the scenes. Writer Michael Lassell interviews Francesca Zambello and choreographer Steven Mear, writer Doug Wright and composer Alan Menken, designers George Tsypin and Tanya Noginova as well as all the stars in the show’s extraordinarily talented cast. This is a grown-up book for children of all ages. |

Oz and Beyond $15.95 Long before Judy Garland sang Over the Rainbow , the denizens of Oz had already captivated the American reading public. The quintessential American fairy tale, L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has had a singular influence on our culture since it first appeared in 1900. Yet, as Michael Riley shows, Baum’s achievement went far beyond this one book, or even the thirteen others he wrote about that magic kingdom.The Land of Oz was just one in a whole continent of fantasy countries whose histories, geographies, and citizens Baum developed in detail over the course of his writing career. In this Other-world, Baum created a full-scale mythology that foreshadowed Tolkien’s Middle Earth in its imaginative detail.Taking us on an entertaining tour of this endearing and unforgettable Other-world, Riley illuminates Baum’s richly creative imagination in the Oz books and other works of fantasy, like the much neglected Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. He restores for millions of readers Baum’s original conception of Oz as it existed long before other writers were hired to continue the immensely popular series following Baum’s death in 1919. Equally important, he shows us how Oz and its companion countries evolved over time, as Baum repeatedly responded to a loyal readership clamoring for an endless supply of Oz stories.While there have been other studies of Baum, this is the first to examine his Other-world in its entirety. Oz and Beyond provides the first comprehensive analysis of all of Baum’s fantasy creations and his evolution as a fantasy writer, demonstrating that Baum had a more consistent and disciplined imagination than is generally recognized. It also explains theinfluence of Baum’s childhood and adult experiences on his writing and illuminates his philosophy concerning nature, civilization, and industrialization.Oz’s enduring influence on American culture is indisputable — witness its endless replication in books, films, musicals, and theme park |
