Zustand: New. Morante García, Sabina (illustrator). Idioma/Language: Español. A pesar de las diferencias culturales y de costumbres entre Oriente y Occidente, la esencia de los cuentos populares es la misma en todo el mundo. Con esta recopilación de cuentos tradicionales de Japón, China y Corea, hemos querido celebrar nuestro título número 100 y, a la vez, rendir un sincero homenaje a Andrew Lang y sus famosos 12 Colored Fairy Books, que ilustrados por Henry Justice Ford, hoy en día tienen la consideración de obras de arte de la literatura popular. En nuestra selección de relatos, mitos y leyendas, los lectores y lectoras de todas las edades se verán atrapados en un mundo repleto de magia y nostalgia, un lugar habitado por criaturas fantásticas, seres mitológicos y animales increíbles que permitirán a los más pequeños imaginar un mundo maravilloso, imposible; y a los adultos volver a descubrirlo con una mirada diferente, con la inocencia de un niño. Y todos ellos, bellamente ilustrados por Sabina Morante. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

His Legacy: Gale was talented in so many ways, his influence was great, although he was often frustrated by the rivalries, jealousies and personality clashes that too often characterized the missionary community in Korea. . His linguistic skills were essential in the work of Bible translation, while his literary and poetic sensitivity gave his writing an added charm. . He was unable to publish a considerable portion of what he wrote or translated and much remains to be published in his papers in the University of Toronto. . *** GALE WARNS THE WORLD ABOUT JAPAN'S TAKE OVER OF KOREA: Gale's warning and public broadcasting of KOREA IN TRANSITION was his exposure of Japan's pending takeover of Korea, the eradication of Korean Royalty and Oligarchy. . 1909, a year before Korea was annexed by Japan, Gale published Korea in Transition which focusses mainly on the changes in Korean society introduced by the work of the Protestant missions. . Gale wrote several other excellent books on Korea, please visit our website to see them and other books about Korea. . *** THE IMPRINT VARIANTS: .
