Choosing one of the few fairy tales that does not conclude with a wedding, Catherine Orenstein reinterprets the many versions of "Little Red Riding Hood" by setting the tale against the mores and values of its times. The result is a highly entertaining and interesting conversation about one of our best-known stories.
Starting with the first-known published version, Orenstein points out Charles Perrault's lesson to young girls entering the lascivious and political court of Louis XIV. She traces the story further back to a shockingly playful rendition that includes bzous (werewolves) and cannibalism. In this version, she revives the symbolism that relates to the feminine by pointing out the odd questions of the bzou: "Which path are you taking... the path of needles or the path of pins?" Orenstein also takes a look at more modern versions, including Anne Sexton's poem "Red Riding Hood" and Matthew Bright's film Freeway, taking on, as she examines these and other modern versions of the old tale, the machismo wolf and the Gen-X grrrl.
Though expansive in her research, Orenstein's interpretations are occasionally too simplistic. In "Grandmother's Tale," Riding Hood's cannibalistic meal of her grandmother is reduced to a "symbolic reminder that the old will be reborn in the young." There is nothing mentioned of the talking cat who decries Riding Hood, saying, "She is a slut who eats the flesh and drinks the blood of her granny!" But what Orenstein lacks in depth, she more than makes up for in her encompassing study. In all, 10 tales are examined, as well as a vast historical study of the times they were published. Written with lively prose, Orenstein has produced a book that will spark thought and conversation, encouraging readers to find the wolf, the grandmother, and the little girl within. --Karin Rosman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

这本书前前后后用了差不多两年才读完。 倒不是因为书本身有什么艰涩难懂以至于战线如此之长,只是由于工作和别的原因而一直没有连续的时间把这本书读完。 书不长,大约15.7万字。从小红帽和别的童话的起源说起,基本按照时间顺序解读了不同时期人们对童话故事的理解和改写(...
评分关于小红帽的首版或另类的故事,并不是看这本书时才知道的。几年前曾经流行过一阵子所谓的初版的童话故事,里面就有关于小红帽所谓的“真实的原型”。而这类故事中,总是被人解释为含有隐秘的内容,好像每一个童话中发生的每一件事,甚至每一个场景都别有意义,有的是暴力有的...
评分小红帽是我的初恋,我总觉得要是娶了小红帽,就会知道什么叫做天赐良缘。——查尔斯·狄更斯 与曾经用自己的小说威震世界的狄更斯不同,《小红帽》是润物细无声和潜移默化的,她是我们的童年世界的一个坐标。 小红帽的故事,并非采集于民间。法国人佩罗创作了她(1697年)。影...
评分 评分以前上新闻课的时候,老师说,其实,所谓公正之媒体,何尝不是在为当权者服务呢,区别只在于,在不同的国家,当权者的意义略有不同而已。 现在看这本书,才明白到,所谓童话,不外如是。在封建蒙昧的年代里,它告诉小女孩要乖,要听妈妈的话,任劳任怨,刻苦干活才能觅得好归...
