AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful illustrated edition of this refined and educational reinterpretation of fairy tales aimed at the moral and social education of children, where narrative fantasy is constantly directed towards the transmission of values.
Leprince de Beaumont, famous for establishing the canonical version of Beauty and the Beast, incorporates a didactic dimension into his tales that associates the marvelous with lessons of virtue, prudence, and wisdom, embedding the imaginary within an educational purpose.
The stories, often short and exemplary, feature princesses, fairies, and heroes facing trials that reveal the superiority of kindness, intelligence, and humility over pride or vanity.
Gavarni, through his elegant and expressive illustrations, gives the characters a visual presence that emphasizes the theatrical and moral dimension of the text, placing the figures within a romantic and sometimes ironic aesthetic.
