Title of the paper : “A millenary hypertext"
Author or topic : Petit, M.R. (Marianne Rodriguez Petit , born in 1964)
Abstract : Fairy Tales, traditional stories,
“rondallas”
or however we call these stories that have reached us
by word
of mouth and generation after generation, have always excited the imagination
of children and adults
and, have
become part of the imaginary masses.
And now we
find to our surprise, that one of those stories has been adapted to the
hypertext format, without
losing,
in any moment, the capacity to stimulate the imagination of the reader.
From the Grimm Brothers to M.R. Petit, there is only one little step,
which shows, once again, the incredible
capacity
of popular stories to be adapted into any format.
Time, space, the physical and psychological characterization of the
characters in The
Grimm Tale are
amazingly
schematical, only a few small brush-strokes are more than
sufficient to obtain the desired effect,
which is
merely to make people have fun, and at the same time, teach us some lessons
that form part of our
deepest traditions.
My work
will consist of developing the spaces and scenes
where the action of this hypertext takes place,
trying to
place the story in the correct context.
And, to
conclude I shall put forward my
personal modest opinion about this hypertextual
version of
The Story of the
Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What
Fear Was (Juan sin miedo).
I also
would like to share with you my correspondence with the
author.
Auto-evaluation: During all this time I
have been working very hard in this hypertext. I believe I have
done a good job. My
auto-evaluation is a B (notable).
