Download Breaking the Magic Spell: Radical Theories of Folk and Fairy Tales AudioBook Free

This revised, extended, and updated edition of the 1979 landmark Breaking the Magic Spell examines the long lasting power of fairy tales and the ways they invade our subjective world. In seven provocative essays, Zipes discusses the importance of investigating oral folk tales in their socio-political framework and traces their advancement into literary fairy tales, a metamorphosis that often diminished the ideology of the original narrative. Zipes also looks at how folk tales affect our popular beliefs and the ways they are exploited by the corporate mass media network intention on regulating the mystical elements of the reviews. He examines a range of authors, including the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Ernst Bloch, Tolkien, Bettelheim, and J.K. Rowling to demonstrate the continuing symbiotic romance between folklore and books.
