Marianna Mayer Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
Marianna Mayer considera le fiabe e i miti come le prime storie dell'umanità, un sogno collettivo pieno di simboli e immagini senza tempo. Spesso rivisita racconti esistenti per esplorarne i frammenti irrisolti e i misteri sconcertanti. Sebbene sia conosciuta come autrice di libri per bambini, la sua formazione artistica visiva, in particolare la pittura, influenza profondamente la sua scrittura, fornendo immagini che utilizza come tavolozza e tela. Mayer si immerge nella cultura di ogni storia, come dimostra la sua ricerca sulla mitologia slava per un racconto su Baba Yaga. Mira a raggiungere il bambino interiore in sé stessa e nei suoi lettori, creando personaggi che superano ostacoli scoraggianti con coraggio e perseveranza, infondendo così speranza.
