Latin American Folktales: Stories from Hispanic and Indian Traditions - John Bierhorst

Descriere Latin American Folktales: Stories from Hispanic and Indian Traditions - John Bierhorst

\nThe wisdom and artistry of storytellers from Hispanic and Indian traditions preserve one of the world's richest folktale traditions--combining the lore of medieval Europe, the ancient Near East, and pre-Columbian America. Gathered from twenty countries, including the United States, the stories are brought together here in a core collection of one hundred tales arranged in the form of a velorio, or wake, the most frequent occasion for public storytelling. This is the first panoramic anthology of Hispano-American folk narratives in any language. \nPart of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library\n
