“Scherza coi fanti e lascia stare i santi” is an Italian sentence that means “don’t mix the sacred with the profane”. Clearly, more than two-thousand years of Christianity have molded and deeply influenced the culture and traditions of many parts of Italy. This book is formed by tales Selected from the Book: Italian Popular Tales by Thomas Frederick Crane. These stories will present the origin of many idioms and customs of many Italian regions, and also how in many Italian tales' tradition, religious characters – such as Saint Peter or the Holy Mary or even the Devil - replace the classic fairytale characters: fairies, robbers, gnomes and so on.

One of the New York Times’s Ten Best Books of the Year: These traditional stories of Italy, retold by a literary master, are “a treasure” (Los Angeles Times). Filled with kings and peasants, saints and ogres—as well as some quite extraordinary plants and animals—these two hundred tales bring to life Italy’s folklore, sometimes with earthy humor, sometimes with noble mystery, and sometimes with the playfulness of sheer nonsense. Selected and retold by one of the country’s greatest literary icons, “this collection stands with the finest folktale collections anywhere” (The New York Times Book Review). “For readers of any age . . . A masterwork.” —The Wall Street Journal “A magic book, and a classic to boot.” —Time

A collection of magical Italian folk and fairy tales—most in English for the first time The Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales presents twenty magical stories published between 1875 and 1914, following Italy’s political unification. In those decades of political and social change, folklorists collected fairy tales from many regions of the country while influential writers invented original narratives in standard Italian, drawing on traditional tales in local dialects, and translated others from France. This collection features a range of these entertaining jewels from such authors as Carlo Collodi, most celebrated for the novel Pinocchio, and Domenico Comparetti, regarded as the Italian Grimm, to Grazia Deledda, the only Italian woman to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature. With one exception, all of these tales are appearing in English for the first time. The stories in this volume are linked by themes of metamorphosis: a man turns into a lion, a dove, and an ant; a handsome youth emerges from a pig’s body; and three lovely women rise out of the rinds of pomegranates. There are also more introspective transformations: a self-absorbed princess learns about manners, a melancholy prince finds joy again, and a complacent young woman discovers gratitude. Cristina Mazzoni provides a comprehensive introduction that situates the tales in their cultural and historical context. The collection also includes period illustrations and biographical notes about the authors. Filled with adventures, supernatural and fantastic events, and brave and flawed protagonists, The Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales will delight, surprise, and astonish.

"Gorky is loved by the Italian workers primarily because of all authors who have written about Italy he was the only one who wrote about the Italian working folk, their life and their sufferings. Who can say how much paper and ink the poets and novelists have used up praising the sky of Italy, the sun of Italy, the flora of Italy, the Roman ruins . . . Julius Caesar and Leo XIII? But no one was able to describe the wondrous nature of our country so simply as Gorky, and, what is even more important, no one but he had ever written about the Italian people, their life and struggle."That is why Gorky is so well known and so well loved in Italy... He showed us, against the charming setting of the beautiful Italian landscape, the poverty and want, the suffering and the heroic struggle of the Italian people... He gave me, for one, a deeper understanding of my own people. This is what the well-known Italian author Giovanni Germanetto has said about Gorky?s Tales of Italy. Gorky?s participation in the Russian revolution of 1905, his public opposition to the granting of loans to czarist Russia by the West, and the publication of his novel Mother made it impossible for the writer to reside in Russia. His health too was severely undermined, and in October 1906 he went to Italy for a prolonged cure. It was there, in the period between 1906 and 1913 that the Tales were written. In the Tales of Italy Gorky sketched scenes from life in the Italy he knew. "I have called these scenes Tales," he wrote, "because both the landscape of Italy and the customs of its people, indeed their entire way of life, is so different from Russia that to the ordinary Russian reader they might indeed seem like tales." The Tales cover a wide range of subject matter. In them one finds the social theme side by side with legends or genre ketches from Italian everyday life. The story of the Simplon tunnel alternates with a hymn of praise to Mothers, stories of the marriage customs of the Italian laboring folk with descriptions of colorful pageants in Capri. The mischievous urchin darting in and out among the crowds is a familar figure in the Tales. This is not merely a colorful feature of the Italian street scene, not only a confirmation of the Italian?s love for children. In Gorky?s tales children are a symbol of the future for which their fathers are striving. The "heralds of spring,"Gorky calls them."There are no tales finer than those created by life itself,"these words chosen for the epigraph in his book, but express the essence of Maxim Gorky?s Tales of Italy."
