The Myth of Maturity: What Teenagers Need from Parents to Become Adults
by Terri Apter"Parents and young adults alike should benefit from the advice in Apter's insightful book."--Washington Post What do young people at the threshold of adulthood really need and want? Why do so many responsible and motivated teenagers become young adults who are still dependent, financially and emotionally, on their parents? Why are many young people today so quick to leave childhood behind, but so slow to become adults? In this wise and compassionate book, Terri Apter debunks outdated and misguided ideas about maturity: Acting in the name of love, many parents withdraw emotional or practical support, thinking it best for a son or daughter to solve his or her own problems--even to suffer alone the consequences of mistakes. Apter shows us that young adults actually need a parent's guidance and support, while also requiring respect and independence. Based on carefully observed case studies and current research, this book describes how we can support young people through a crucial stage in their development.
The Myth of Persephone in Girls' Fantasy Literature (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Holly BlackfordIn this book, Blackford historicizes the appeal of the Persephone myth in the nineteenth century and traces figurations of Persephone, Demeter, and Hades throughout girls’ literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She illuminates developmental patterns and anxieties in E. T. A. Hoffmann’s Nutcracker and Mouse King, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, J. M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, and Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. The story of the young goddess’s separation from her mother and abduction into the underworld is, at root, an expression of ambivalence about female development, expressed in the various Neverlands through which female protagonists cycle and negotiate a partial return to earth. The myth conveys the role of female development in the perpetuation and renewal of humankind, coordinating natural and cultural orders through a hieros gamos (fertility coupling) rite. Meanwhile, popular novels such as Twilight and Coraline are paradoxically fresh because they recycle goddesses from myths as old as the seasons. With this book, Blackford offers a consideration of how literature for the young squares with broader canons, how classics flexibly and uniquely speak through novels that enjoy broad appeal, and how female traditions are embedded in novels by both men and women.
Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins: The Governess As Provocateur (Children's Literature and Culture #41)
by Giorgia GrilliThe Mary Poppins that many people know of today--a stern, but sweet, loveable, and reassuring British nanny--is a far cry from the character created by Pamela Lyndon Travers in the 1930's. Instead, this is the Mary Poppins reinvented by Disney in the eponymous movie. This book sheds light on the original Mary Poppins, Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins is the only full-length study that covers all the Mary Poppins books, exposing just how subversive the pre-Disney Mary Poppins character truly was. Drawing important parallels between the character and the life of her creator, who worked as a governess herself, Grilli reveals the ways in which Mary Poppins came to unsettle the rigid and rigorous rules of Victorian and Edwardian society that most governesses embodied, taught, and passed on to their charges.

Agonizing over how to confess her feelings leads Koda to explore Mack’s enigmatic history in search of answers. <p><p> She tracks down her dad’s band mate and ex-girlfriend, Sadie Pasquale, and finds herself becoming rapidly obsessed with the mercurial musician.

by Abrahan David ZarachoThis book portrays the origin and the mythical evolution of the figure in which the identification of the astrological constellation of Taurus is based.

Nadie sale ileso del amor
by Alejandro OrdóñezNadie puede decirte cuándo te tiene que dejar de doler. Es un proceso, tómate tu tiempo para volver a sonreir. Con un estilo muy particular, Alejandro Ordóñez presenta las tres facetas del enamoramiento a partir del dolor: amor, desamor y amor propio, y sumerge al lector en un proceso de reconstrucción emocional. Cuando algo tan fuerte se rompe dentro de uno, ni siquiera las mejores palabras de consuelo logran pegar los trozos de un corazón desecho, y hay que ir al fondo de la herida para entender qué pasó, por qué duele tanto, cómo será posible volver a creer que llegarán los días soleados después de las tormentas. Nadie sale ileso del amor es un libro íntimo y a la vez universal, cuya lectura nos lleva a subir los peldaños del amor propio para reconocer que la vida es un campo de batalla en el que se puede perder o ganar de distintas maneras, y la lucha consiste en arriesgarlo todo.
