Stories of Little Women and Grown-up Girls

Stories of Little Women and Grown-up Girls Review

Stories of Little Women and Grown-up Girls is a wise book in which its protagonists, even in the most adverse of circumstances, whether gently or going against social conventions, actively participate in the creation of an alternative culture that is mestiza, feminist and cosmopolitan, as well as committed to a transformation of patriarchal society and the myths that it sustains about women. Through agile and precise language tender at times, scrawny when necessary erotism, and sometimes ironic and extremely bitter humor in some stories, take us through well elaborated plots with unpredictable endings that are impossible to put aside once we have started to read them. The book contains ten short stories in which the protagonists differ in age, nationality, the problems they face, and personality, but share several fundamental characteristics: they are the subjects of their destinies, not the objects, even when sometimes this decision comes from their unconscious and is expressed in the honesty and bravery with which they face life. The second characteristic that unites them is the way in which they reflect about themselves and their circumstances,which are sometimes heartwrenching. They are not sorry for themselves and do not feel guilty for their mistakes and misadventures that could hold them back from acting and making the decisions they need to make in order to change the situation that burdens them. They do what they have to do without sentimentalism and without lurking in their pain. They act with a sincerity that drives the reader to feel a profound empathy for these characters. In the Deepest Seed of the Lemon, during a discussion which concludes with a sentence which leaves the reader perplexed by its sagacity and bitter irony, Martirio, the woman from New York, and Rocío, from Habana, expose their reasons, which are legitimate in both cases, why they defend their decisions, one for living in Cuba, the other for living in the United States.

The Little Prince for Grown-ups: Using Jungian active imagination to uncover pearls of the masterpiece of Saint-Exupery Or Talking to your internal ... shortcuts to a happier life. (Volume 1) Review

The inspiration to write a masterpiece arises from the unconscious, full of ideas that the very author may have been unaware of. “The Little Prince for Grown-ups” gets to the roots of some of Antoine Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince, using mythology and the concepts of Jungian psychology to expose some buried treasures. As in the book of Saint-Exupery, the crash that leads the pilot to land in the Sahara desert becomes the beginning of a journey of self-knowledge. Exupéry himself, or rather, Antoine, is the protagonist of this journey, and his companions are the blonde boy with the scarf around his neck and the Wise Old Man, who tells them stories that lead Antoine to intense reflections. And there are many stories from Gnostic texts, the Bible, and Greek mythology. Lima Netto walks through the various myths to interpret human beings’ dilemmas in a journey towards higher consciousness. "The fall of Adam, the expulsion from the Garden of Eden is a metaphor for a very real phenomenon in life. It happens when the man transforms himself, leaving the unconscious baby stage and experiencing a state of increased awareness. Of course this does not occur at once, as in the mythology of Genesis. With small falls after small falls, the baby recognizes his separation from the mother, discovers his ego, and develops to become a unique individual," explains Lima Netto. And, preferably, "without losing his tenderness, without losing his creativity, without losing touch with his inner child." Although the book is based in Jungian ideas, it is not required any knowledge of psychology.

The Little Grownup: A Nostalgic Michigan Boyhood

The Little Grownup: A Nostalgic Michigan Boyhood Review

Born in 1964, Hans "Jeff" Borger made it in on the tail end of the baby boomers. "The Little Grownup" is a nostalgic look back at his Michigan boyhood. From growing up in Detroit to the subsequent move to the suburbs, Hans lovingly and humorously writes about his German immigrant parents and grandparents and his youth. School fads. His first job as a paperboy. Trips to the grandparents house. Dance and music lessons. Meeting his TV idol Desi Arnaz. Family vacations to Northern Michigan. Those creepy basements. And even a mention of the end of the American icon "the milk man." Never taking himself too seriously, Hans captures the spirit of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s with his delightful reminiscing. He may have been young then, but he always felt he was born "The Little Grownup."
