About this listen

 "Il était une fois, un couple de vieillards qui vivait paisiblement au bord d'une rivière. Un jour, alors que la vieille femme lavait son linge, elle vit une grosse pêche qui flottait sur l'eau. Songeant que son mari aimerait certainement goûter de ce fruit, peu commun en cette saison, elle la prit dans ses bras, et toute contente l'emporta à la maison..."
Ce sont des textes légendaires issus de la tradition japonaise du XIe siècle, pleins de rêve, de poésie, d'imaginaire et de sagesse. Ces contes simples et enchanteurs, sont lus avec une infinie douceur par Lou Saintagne qui sert le texte à merveille. Ils raviront enfants comme adultes.©Domaine public (P)2005 Éditions Thélème Classics Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths Literature & Fiction

These are very old stories and the narrator kept contracting words which only matches modern speech. It felt very anachronistic and so distracting in the beginning that I struggled with getting into the story.

Also the trouble will older stories is also that they can transmit antiquated values like how a girl should be obedient and self-sacrificing (first story - contrast with that of the brother who loves stories so much that he puts his family in trouble but that is easily excused because he’s a boy so he has the right to be a distracted dreamer while the girl must toil away to be equally rewarded with wealth and recognition?).

For the rest, the stories were pleasant especially because I’m always intrigued by other cultures and myths.

I did not appreciate the narrator
