Some fairytales are unbelievable.
El primer cuento sobre la bella durmiente...horrible 😷
The origin of sleeping beauty. For god sake. It a rape case glittered with stupidity of (I'm ok being rape as long as the u will love me forever) heck! And worst.. The king! Oh god how muchh I hate him! Thank god it was 18th centuries. Or it will be in law sued.
SOL, LUNA Y TALÍA de Giambattista BasileBasile fue un cuentista napolitano del siglo XVII que escribió muchos cuentos que son recopilaciones de leyendas contemporáneas que más tarde fueron modificados por otros autores que son más conocidos que él como son los hermanos Grimm. Esta historia es el antecedente de "La bella durmiente", pero en este caso la historia es bastante diferente. Lo parecido desde luego es que en este caso Talía al nacer fue vaticinada a su padre que quedaría muerta en vida
This is one of the really early renditions of Sleeping Beauty, and I really hate it.and here I thought Disney's version of this story featured a passive princess! This is such an awful way to tell the story and it doesn't make any sense (giving birth in your sleep? really?) I hate the way Talia is treated, I can't really justify it. I'm giving it a low rating because I'm definitely not okay with a story that tells you it's okay to be in love and forget that this man who claims to love you did ac...
Dark and Gruesome! Loved it!
The original story that evolved into 'Sleeping Beauty'. Its interesting but also quite creepy.
Trauma.
I’ve known about the twisted content of “Sun, Moon, and Talia”—considered by many the first version of Sleeping Beauty—for years. (It’s normally the primary example cited by anyone who wants to tell you how misogynist and awful fairytales are toward women.) But only recently did I actually read Basile’s text. Mainly I wanted to maintain my fairytale credibility, but I was also curious. Maybe the story’s more unpleasant aspects had been blown out of proportion by the snarky haters. Maybe there wo...
Of all the Sleeping Beauty tales I read, I found “Sun, Moon, and Talia”, to be the most striking. This was definitely an entertaining tale for adults, and not meant for children. When Talia was considered dead, her wretched father “closed the doors and abandoned forever the house where he had suffered this great loss.” This father was not a loving one, because he left his daughter without a care, or proper mourning. This reveals to me that he is a coward and a man of no compassion.The king takes...
So this is the story that originated Sleeping Beauty.This is one of the weirdest things I have ever read.I did not really understand the morals of these characters nor the moral of the story itself.I guess in this world it's okay to rape an unconscious girl because she seems lovely; women can give birth to twins with the aid of kindly fairies while still unconscious, and easily fall in love with the man who raped them once he tells them what happened; jealous queens/wives will try to cook the ba...

what this is not it first off why u do this it messed up
This Sleeping Beauty retelling is so fuckin messed up. Creepy hell!
Read this for a blog post I wrote which you can find here: https://feedthecrime.wordpress.com/20...
A very good book.I preferred it to the more well-known one as it was more gory and... well, it just wasn't what you would expect really.the storyline was very interesting and I think that if you get the chance to read it, then you should - it's a very short book. The original versions out fairytales are so much better than the Disney versions - at least, I think they are, and you might if you prefer gorier versions of things. :)http://daryllorettecafe.typepad.com/t... - link to 'Sun, Moon and Ta...
If taken out of historical context which might have considered this kind of story alright on both a moral and social ground, it is a story of Rape and it stands against much (if not everything) we fight when we fight violence on women.I read it and I feel that's all I can say.
Había oído la leyenda urbana de que en el cuento de "La bella durmiente", el príncipe se aprovechaba de la princesa mientras dormía. Al leer la versión de Perrault llegué a la conclusión de que solo era un rumor, puesto que en esa versión Perrault explica que la princesa se despierta cuando el príncipe entra a su cuarto y ambos se enamoran en ese instante. En esta versión más antigua, la de Basile, aquí es en donde sí, el hombre se aprovecha de Talia cuando aún ella está hechizada y también bajo...
Dark and disturbing.And I thought the original Little Red Riding Hood was dark...
I wonder what type of audience Basile was thinking when he was writing this. :((view spoiler)[ I cannot believe Talia would marry and be happy with her rapist! I couldn't blame the queen for being so evil with her commands, but, ugh, why? Why does Talia have to live happily ever after with her rapist? (hide spoiler)]
