La collection met à jour avec soin les fables bien-aimées, les rendant pertinentes et stimulantes pour le public contemporain. Parfait pour les lecteurs qui apprécient la satire et une nouvelle perspective sur les classiques de l'enfance.
A humorous retelling of classic bedtime stories, such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs, re-written to free them, according to the author, from the influences of "a flawed cultural past."
Nouveaux contes d'autrefois pour lecteurs d'aujourd'hui
Des contes célèbres (Hansel et Gretel, Le Chat botté...) expurgés des notions sexistes, racistes, âgistes, culturalistes, et aménagés façon XXe siècle. L'auteur y dénonce avec humour les travers en tous genres et les excès de la société moderne.
Whether your favorite holiday story is A Christmas Carol, The Story of Hanukkah, or 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, you'll find it transformed to reflect current sensibilities in Politically Correct Holiday Stories. Injecting our popular holiday fables with a modern perspective is no easy task, but someone had to do it -- and who better than the proven master of cultural sensitivity? James Finn Garner joyfully frees these holiday tales from sexism, ageism, religious imperialism, and every other sorry vestige of our flawed, low-consciousness past. So gather the family (whether traditional, dysfunctional, co-dependent, or otherwise) around the hearth, and read aloud these tales as they should have been told the first time.
The Ultimate Storybook
James Finn Garner wowed the world when he wrote Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, which sold nearly 2 million copies, and then followed it up with two books with the same theme, Politically Correct Holiday Stories and Once Upon An Enlightened Time; the three books together sold nearly 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and were translated into 20 languages. Garner's incisive and hilarious books took age-old bedtime and holiday stories and made them into politically correct tales of our day. His original humor, filled with social commentary, is well-known by readers around the country -- most recently in his new book Apocalypse Wow!
