Bluebeard: What does this literary work expose? – Marketing

Charles Perrault (1628-1703) is one of the most widely read French writers in the entire history of world literature. Although he ventured into various genres of letters, his worldwide celebrity reached him with his children’s stories that survived the centuries and were read by hundreds of generations.

The title of this book takes the name of one of his famous stories: Blue Beard, which is perhaps the bloodiest and hardest among those he bequeathed to us. This story is accompanied in the book by the classics of always, those that come back to life generation after generation to become the heritage of planetary childhood: Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty in the Forest, Cinderella, Ridiculous Wishes, Donkey Skin, Tom Thumb, Riquet with the Pompadour and Griselida.

For children who have not read them yet, these stories will awaken their curiosity, because it will tell them about a world that is already far away, but that it is good that they know it. For adults, rereading these stories will lead them to the adventure that means entering their own childhood, returning to that school where they shared unforgettable times with other children of that era that nobody forgets.

On the other hand, it is important to read Perrault in order to understand an era, that of the seventeenth century, very different from today; a time when power was absolute, when the people had to obey a king, when the fulfillment of the monarch’s will was a divine imperative. A world in which women were absolutely submissive to men and in which most women themselves saw a feminine virtue in that subjection.
