The Twilight Mystique

Autor: Amy M. Clarke , Marijane Osborn

Número de Páginas: 249

The 13 essays in this volume explore Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight series in the contexts of literature, religion, fairy tales, film, and the gothic. Several examine Meyer's emphasis on abstinence, considering how, why, and if the author's Mormon faith has influenced the series' worldview. Others look at fan involvement in the Twilight world, focusing on how the series' avid following has led to an economic transformation in Forks, Washington, the real town where the fictional series is set. Other topics include Meyer's use of Quileute shape-shifting legends, Twilight's literary heritage and its frequent references to classic works of literature, and the series' controversial depictions of femininity.

Silenced in the Library

Censorship has been an ongoing phenomenon even in "the land of the free." This examination of banned books across U.S. history examines the motivations and effects of censorship, shows us how our view of right and wrong has evolved over the years, and helps readers to understand the tremendous importance of books and films in our society. Books ranging from classics such as A Farewell to Arms, Lord of the Rings, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Color Purple as well as best-selling books such as Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret, titles in the Harry Potter series, and various books by bestselling novelist Stephen King have all been on the banned books list. What was the content that got them banned, who wanted them banned, and did the ban have the desired effect of minimizing the number of people who read the title-or did it have the opposite effect, inadvertently creating an even larger readership for the book? Silenced in the Library: Banned Books in America provides a comprehensive examination of the challenges to major books as well as the final results of these selections being deemed "unfit for public consumption." Included in its discussion are explanations of the true...

Los malos del cuento

Autor: Espido Freire

Número de Páginas: 224

Ogros, brujas, vampiros, hombres lobo y madrastras. Nos rodean a diario; se encuentran en nuestra familia, entre los amores que vivimos, en la oficina, al final de cada calle. Lo que ocurre es que ya no los catalogamos como tales: preferimos hablar de manipuladores, de psicópatas, de familias disfuncionales, o incluso de traumas o complejos. Vivimos en el más aterrador y largo cuento de hadas que pudieran imaginar los hermanos Grimm, o el Perrault más crudo. Este libro pretende hablar de las personas y relaciones dañinas más frecuentes, en la posibilidad de detectarlos, y de cómo escapar de ellos, y pretende hacerlo con la ayuda de los ejemplos más antiguos que existen: Hombres lobo, vampiros, brujas y madrastras, arquetipos todos ellos que representan la maldad que habita a nuestro alrededor.

After that it will focuse on the characters and their relationships to each other. In the end, the results will be summarized and brought into relation with today’s society. The vampires in media nowadays own seductive attributes and superpowers. These are attributes the first vampire in literature, Count Dracula, did not have. Nevertheless, Bram Stoker ́s Gothic novel "Dracula", written in 1897, laid the foundations for all vampire genres afterwards. Count Dracula was the first vampire in history who became so famous that everybody still knows him today. He has some superpowers but no romantic or sexual interests and no human soul, whereas, Anne Rice’s vampires from the novel "Interview with the Vampire", written in 1973, have these attributes.
