O jovem Eustáquio conta histórias da Grécia antiga para a turma de crianças na casa de campo de Tanglewood, e os entretém com as viagens do herói Hércules, o domador de Pégaso e o combate contra a terrível Quimera, o encontro de Perseu com a icônica Medusa, entre outras aventuras. Baseando-se na mitologia grega, o autor Nathaniel Hawthorne reescreveu engenhosamente as histórias de personagens e jornadas lendárias, com dinamismo e criatividade.

Book Details


First Sentence

"Há bastante tempo, o autor tem a opinião de que muitos dos mitos clássicos poderiam se tornar uma excelente leitura para crianças. Neste pequeno livro, ora oferecido ao público, trabalhou em meia dúzia deles, com esse objetivo em vista. Ter grande liberdade de tratamento das histórias era necessário a seu plano; mas será observado, por todos que tentarem tornar maleáveis essas lendas em sua fornalha intelectual, que elas são maravilhosamente independentes de todos os modos e circunstâncias temporários. Elas permanecem essencialmente as mesmas depois de mudanças que afretariam a identidade de quase qualquer outra coisa."

Work Description

Six legends of Greek mythology, retold for children by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Included are The Gorgon’s Head, The Golden Touch, The Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Chimaera. In 1838, Hawthorne suggested to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that they collaborate on a story for children based on the legend of the Pandora’s Box, but this never materialized. He wrote A Wonder Book between April and July 1851, adapting six legends most freely from Charles Anton’s A Classical Dictionary (1842). He set out deliberately to “modernize” the stories, freeing them from what he called “cold moonshine” and using a romantic, readable style that was criticized by adults but proved universally popular with children. With full-color illustrations throughout by Arthur Rackham.
