  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Puss in Boots: Hanna Januszewska’S Polish Translation and Adaptation of Charles Perrault’S Fairy Tales
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 33–55 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.002.0856 Monika Woźniak ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A PUSS IN BOOTS: Hanna Januszewska’s POLISH TRANSLATION AND ADAPTATION OF CHARLES Perrault’s FAIRY TALES Abstract: This article opens with an overview of the Polish reception of fairy tales, Perrault’s in particular, since 1700. The introductory section investigates the long- established preference for adaptation rather than translation of this genre in Poland and provides the framework for an in-depth comparative analysis of the first Polish translation of Mother Goose Tales by Hanna Januszewska, published in 1961, as well as her adaptation of Perrault’s tales ten years later. The examination focuses on two questions: first, the cultural distance between the original French text and Polish fairy- tales, which causes objective translation difficulties; second, the cultural, stylistic and linguistic shifts introduced by Januszewska in the process of transforming her earlier translation into a free adaptation of Perrault’s work. These questions lead not only to comparing the originality or literary value of Januszewska’s two proposals, but also to examining the reasons for the enormous popularity of the adapted version. The faithful translation, by all means a good text in itself, did not gain wide recognition and, if not exactly a failure, it was nevertheless an unsuccessful attempt to introduce Polish readers to the original spirit of Mother Goose Tales. Keywords: translation, adaptation, fairy tale, Perrault, Januszewska The suggestion that Charles Perrault and his fairy tales are unknown in Poland may at first seem absurd, since it would be rather difficult to im- agine anyone who has not heard of Cinderella, Puss in Boots or Sleeping Beauty.

  • Favorite Aesop's Fables and More
    Favorite Aesop’s Fables and More Storytelling Show Presented by Katie Adams’ Make Believe Theater Welcome to the show! Perseverance… honesty… helping others, Aesop’s Fables show us how to make good choices in life. Storyteller Katie Adams will exercise your imagination with her energetic performance and drawings of The Race of the Tortoise and the Hare, The Lion and the Mouse, The Boy who Cried Wolf, and more fables in this fun, storytelling show. This 45-minute show includes live illustrations, and audience participation. Before the Show Synopsis of the Stories There are five fables in today’s show. Here is a summary of each one. The Race of the Tortoise and the Hare Katie will invite the audience to participate by cheering for the Tortoise and the Hare. This is Aesop’s fable about a fast Hare (rabbit) who liked to make fun of a slow Tortoise. Set in Florida, down at the beach, all the animals are Florida wildlife including Gopher Tortoise. Tired of being teased about his slow pace, Tortoise challenges Hare to a race, with all the nearby animals to cheer them on. Once the race begins, Hare is so sure he will win the race, he stops for a snack, and then for a nap. Meanwhile Tortoise keeps going, keeping his eye on the finish line and letting nothing distract him. Just before Tortoise is about to finish the race, Hare wakes up and with a burst of speed tries to beat Tortoise. But he is too late! Tortoise wins the race. The moral of the story is: Slow and steady wins the race.

    OOT 2020: [The Search for a Middle Clue] Written and edited by George Charlson, Nick Clanchy, Oli Clarke, Laura Cooper, Daniel Dalland, Alexander Gunasekera, Alexander Hardwick, Claire Jones, Elisabeth Le Maistre, Matthew Lloyd, Lalit Maharjan, Alexander Peplow, Barney Pite, Jacob Robertson, Siân Round, Jeremy Sontchi, and Leonie Woodland. Packet 1 Toss-ups: 1. The earliest evidence of a ‘fast’ variant of this technology in Mesopotamia comes from the Early Uruk Period, but the earliest Egyptian depiction of the further development of its ‘kick’ variant comes as late as the reign of Darius. Toys using another variant of this technology were discovered in pre-Columbian archaeological levels at Vera Cruz, but the lack of suitable animals in the New World likely limited its practical development in the Americas. The Standard of Ur shows onagers attached to objects with solid versions of this technology, several hundred years prior to the Anatolian invention of spokes. For 10 points, name this technology, which was first used to enable pottery to be spun, and in the development of chariots and carts. ANSWER: the wheel [accept potter’s wheel] <OSC> 2. A character in this play is accused of ‘Wipin’ the neighborhood with my name like a dirty rag!’ This play begins with a speech explaining how people from a certain cultural background are learning to ‘settle for half’ by trusting the law. A lawyer in this play introduces the community of Red Hook as ‘the gullet of New York’. This play’s protagonist pretends to be surprised after betraying several other characters to immigration officials in Act 2 due to his obsession with the orphan Catherine.

  • Fables in Human Life International Journal Of
    Int. J. Eng.INTERNATIONAL Lang. Lit & Trans. Studies JOURNAL (ISSN:2349 OF ENGLISH-9451/2395 LANGUAGE,-2628) Vol. 4. LITERATUREIssue.2, 2017 (April -June) AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR) A QUARTERLY, INDEXED, REFEREED AND PEER REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ijelr.in KY PUBLICATIONS REVIEW ARTICLE Vol. 4. Issue.2., 2017 (April-June) FABLES IN HUMAN LIFE Dr. RAJIVA RANJAN Professor in English [email protected] ABSTRACT Fables often characterize animals that are presented with anthropomorphic features such as the ability to speak and to reason with a basic intention to provide moral lesson. But beneath that there are several layers of intentions; which could be seen in the present paper. Famous fables in the western world include Aesop’s Fables and Uncle Remus/Brer Rabbit series of stories by Joel Chandler Harris whereas in the eastern world especially in India, the most notable fables include the `Panchatantra’, the `Hitopadesa’, the `Kathasaritsagara’ and the `Jataka’. Dr. RAJIVA RANJAN KEY WORDS: Aesop, Fables, purpose, moral lesson Fable is a brief story intended to deliver a moral lesson. It is described either through animals, forces of nature, inanimate objects or plants by giving them human qualities. Fables were first invented with the intention that the languid minds of children could not be roused more quickly by any other way of speaking except it. This might be the reason the most serious and wisest of men have used this kind of teaching. The American psychologist Bruno Bettelheim argues that fables, myths and classic fairy tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and Snow White deal with important human emotions and interminable ideas such as the battle between good and evil.

  • Volume One: Arthur and the History of Jack and the Giants
    The Arthuriad – Volume One CONTENTS ARTICLE 1 Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer DOCUMENTS 5 The History of Jack and the Giants (1787) 19 The 1711 Text of The History of Jack and the Giants 27 Jack the Giant Killer: a c. 1820 Penny Book 32 Some Arthurian Giant-Killings Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer Caitlin R. Green The tale of Jack the Giant-Killer is one that has held considerable fascination for English readers. The combination of gruesome violence, fantastic heroism and low cunning that the dispatch of each giant involves gained the tale numerous fans in the eighteenth century, including Dr Johnson and Henry Fielding.1 It did, indeed, inspire both a farce2 and a ‘musical entertainment’3 in the middle of that century.
