The Collected Sicilian Folk and Fairy Tales of Giuseppe Pitré
This is volume 2 of a two-volume set that collects 300 of the most entertaining and important folk and fairy tales of Giuseppe Pitré, a nineteenth century Sicilian folklorist whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitré’s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitré’s tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the tales.
Erudizione e cultura storica nella Sicilia del XIX secolo
[English]: Through the correspondence between Michele Amari (1806-1889) and Raffaele Starrabba (1834-1906), the volume provides a glimpse of the historiographical panorama of the Italian nineteenth century in the crucial period that followed the birth of the Nation. The correspondence also illuminates the figure of Baron Starrabba, who played a fundamental role in the local archival administration and was the founder, with Isidoro Carini, of the Sicilian Society for the History and of its periodical, the "Archivio Storico Siciliano". / [Italiano]: Attraverso il carteggio intercorso tra il noto storico Michele Amari (1806-1889) e l'archivista siciliano Raffaele Starrabba (1834-1906), il volume fornisce uno spaccato del panorama storiografico dell’Ottocento italiano nel periodo cruciale che seguì la nascita dello Stato unitario, restituendo al contempo il giusto peso al Barone Starrabba, che ebbe un ruolo fondamentale all'interno dell'amministrazione archivistica locale e fu il fondatore, con Isidoro Carini, della Società Siciliana per la Storia Patria e del suo periodico, l’«Archivio Storico Siciliano».
