În fiecare vară, în pădurea de lângă sat, se întâmplă ceva ce oamenii mari preferă să nu discute la lumina zilei. Ielele – acele făpturi fermecătoare, capricioase și complet imprevizibile – își încep dansurile, iar copiii satului, care n-au apucat încă să învețe frica, dau buzna să le vadă. Într-o poiană ascunsă, cei mici sunt atrași de o muzică nepământeană și devin martorii unor dansuri ireal de frumoase. Cei încă mici se întorc acasă juliti, obosiți și convinși că de data asta chiar au scăpat ieftin. Dar ielele nu sunt simple personaje de poveste: au regulile lor, ritmul lor, și un umor… să zicem „discutabil”.An de an, la cincizeci de zile după Paști, ritualul se repetă, iar lumea satului se umple de povești, temeri și întâmplări greu de explicat. Dintre toți, Ana – o fetiță prea curajoasă pentru vârsta ei – descoperă că magia nu vine întotdeauna cu sclipici și cântece de basm. Uneori vine cu tropăit, pulberi de lună, un pic de teamă și multă bătaie de cap. Și cu personaje pe care le credea... altfel. „Dansurile Ielelor” este o reinterpretare modernă și ironică a miturilor românești, unde un strop de vrajă se împletește cu sarcasmul, iar frica cu râsul. Peste toate acestea - multă, dar foarte multă vrăjeală. Dacă vrei o poveste plină de ritm, imagini vii și umor subtil, despre copilărie, curaj și farmecul lumii de dincolo de potecă.… ai nimerit bine.Voir livre
