Free Download A. B. Mitford, "Tales of Old Japan: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Ghost Stories and Legends of the Samurai"
English | 2005 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 0486440621 | EPUB | 6,4 mb
The member of a distinguished British literary family, A. B. Mitford traveled widely with his parents as a youth and lived in various European countries. From 1866-70, he served as an attaché with the British legation at Edo (Tokyo) – one of the first foreign diplomats to do so. During his brief stay there, Mitford lived through a period of dramatic and tumultuous change in Japanese history. A feudal nation on his arrival, Japan had entered the era of "Westernization" before he left some three years later. During that time, however, he quickly and thoroughly mastered the Japanese language and acted as an interpreter between the young Japanese Emperor and British royalty.

Free Download Fairy Tale Films: Visions of Ambiguity By Greenhill, Pauline(Editor);Matrix, Sidney Eve
2010 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0874217814 | PDF | 2 MB
In this, the first collection of essays to address the development of fairy tale film as a genre, Pauline Greenhill and Sidney Eve Matrix stress, "the mirror of fairy-tale film reflects not so much what its audience members actually are but how they see themselves and their potential to develop (or, likewise, to regress)." As Jack Zipes says further in the foreword, "Folk and fairy tales pervade our lives constantly through television soap operas and commercials, in comic books and cartoons, in school plays and storytelling performances, in our superstitions and prayers for miracles, and in our dreams and daydreams. The artistic re-creations of fairy-tale Descriptions and characters in film-the parodies, the aesthetic experimentation, and the mixing of genres to engender new insights into art and life-mirror possibilities of estranging ourselves from designated roles, along with the conventional patterns of the classical tales."Here, scholars from film, folklore, and cultural studies move discussion beyond the well-known Disney movies to the many other filmic adaptations of fairy tales and to the widespread use of fairy tale tropes, themes, and motifs in cinema.
