Branded as rebels and traitors, the members of the Alliance worked
in the shadows, gathering information and support from across the
galaxy to bring an end to the Empire's tyranny. Concealed within a
secure case, their most vital and sensitive information was
collected by one of Mon Mothma's most trusted aides and kept hidden
until now. Discovered by the Resistance in the ruins of an old
rebel base, these files have been passed among key members of the
Resistance, who have added notes, updates, and new insights to the
documents. A repository of Alliance intelligence, The Rebel Files
weaves together classified documents, intercepted transmissions,
and gathered communications to trace the formation of the Rebel
Alliance. Unlock the secrets of the Rebel Alliance.
Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic, edited by Lydia Brugue and Auba
Llompart, studies the impact of fairy tales on contemporary
cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective, with special
emphasis on how literature and film are retelling classic fairy
tales for modern audiences. We are currently witnessing a
resurgence of fairy tales and fairy-tale characters and motifs in
art and popular culture, as well as an increasing and renewed
interest in reinventing and subverting these narratives to adapt
them to the expectations and needs of the contemporary public. The
collected essays also observe how the influence of academic
disciplines like Gender Studies and current literary and cinematic
trends play an important part in the revision of fairy-tale plots,
characters and themes.
