Every culture in the world has a version of the story of Cinderella. Surveying thousands of tellings of what is perhaps the most popular fairy tale of all time, this critical examination explores how the famous folk heroine embodies common societal values, traits and ethics. Multiple adaptations in Spain--gay Cinderella, suicidal Cinderella, censored Cinderella, masked Cinderella, porn Cinderella and others--highlight not only Spanish traditions, history and Zeitgeist, but reflect the story's global appeal on a philosophical level.

A spectacular companion to Brahaus, Cinderella's Revenge pays tribute to footwear's form and function beyond even themost ardent shoe fetishist's wildest imaginings. Over 200 striking, full-colour photographs fill this fanciful collection, showcasing the ingenious fabrications of some of Europe's most talented artists and designers. Initially created for an Italian exhibition, these shoe-inspired works of original art have been constructed from such unlikely materials as latex, marble, chrome, glass, cigarettes, and feathers. From a pair of antique pumps swathed, Christo-like, in ivory fabric, to tow-ering platform shoes rendered in shiny metal, the objets d'art in Cinderella's Revenge offer a walk on the wild side for lovers of innovative fashion and design.
