Psyche is the most beautiful woman in the world, yet the oracle at Delphi foresees she will fall in love with a creature feared even by the gods themselves. Magically, Psyche finds herself in a magnificent castle fitted with sweet music, attentive servants, and a charming but invisible host. Soon she falls in love with this man she has never seen, but in a moment of doubt she betrays his trust. To win back his love, Psyche must show that she is as brave as she is beautiful by performing three impossible tasks. Perhaps the greatest love story of all, Cupid and Psyche is unsurpassed in its richness and drama. Marie Craft's lively, suspenseful retelling of this classic Greek myth will appeal to young and old alike. And these legendary lovers have inspired forty lush luminous paintings by award-winning artist Kinuko Craft. Lavishly illustrated and thrillingly told, here is a book to be treasured forever.

The love story of Cupid and Psyche, the powerful god of love and a human girl, has fascinated readers for centuries, ever since it was written by the Roman author Apuleius in the second century AD. The enchanting story can be read as both the origin of many classic fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella, and as a philosophical portrait of the search of the human soul for the divine.

Il catalogo della mostra - pubblicato dalla nostra Casa Editrice - descrive attraverso affreschi, dipinti e suppellettili provenienti dai più importanti musei nazionali ed internazionali, insieme al grande affresco di Castel Sant'Angelo di Perin Del Vaga (metà XVI secolo) uno dei miti più affascinanti dell'antichità: la favola di Amore e Psiche narrata da Apuleio nell'Asino D'Oro (II sec. D.C). Il volume si compone di 11 saggi e 76 schede divise in quattro sezioni: le radici del mito, le personificazioni di Eros e Psiche, i patimenti dell'anima, la coppia divina e la Fabula di Apuleio; la favola di Amore e Psiche nel Rinascimento; la scena della lampada: il fascino irresistibile dell'amore misterioso ed in fine il revival romantico della favola in epoca neoclassica. Un percorso di grande valore artistico, ricco di significati simbolici che si sviluppano dall'antichità a Canova documentando questo straordinario mito.
