Tehanu

Autor: Ursula K. Le Guin

Número de Páginas: 269

Avec La Main gauche de la nuit et Les Dépossédés, qui reçurent tous les deux les prix Hugo et Nebula, Ursula Le Guindevint l'un des plus fameux auteurs de science-fiction américains. Elle avait construit en cinq romans, à travers le cycle de Hain, l'une des plus remarquables Histoires du futur. Mais elle décida d'explorer un autre univers. Celui de Terremer compte plusieurs romans et recueils de nouvelles. Voici Tehanu, qui signifie flèche dans la langue d'Atuan et qui est aussi le nom d'une étoile. Tenar est devenue femme. Elle a conservé de ses aventures précédentes de redoutables pouvoirs : celui de guérir les corps et les âmes et celui de parler aux dragons. Tehanu, comme les autres livres du cycle de Terremer, relève de la fantasy. Mais ici la magie s'enseigne et se pratique comme une science et, de même que les humains, les dragons ont aussi des sentiments. L'écriture est un enchantement.

Changing Concepts of Childhood and Children's Literature

Autor: Vanessa Joosen , Katrien Vloeberghs

Número de Páginas: 252

The varied collection of essays presented in this volume bridges the gap between continental and Anglo-American approaches to childrenâ (TM)s literature, and discuss the state of the art of what is topical in childrenâ (TM)s literature studies in Europe and the United States. Varied as the different subject areas under discussion are, considering different subgenres, historical periods, and geographical contexts, two main themes surface in nearly all the essays: ideology and childrenâ (TM)s literature on the one hand, and images of childhood on the other. The contributions illustrate the wide range of subject areas and the increasing level of sophistication with which criticism of ideology and Cultural Studies have enriched childrenâ (TM)s literature criticism. The essays address, among others, the influence of globalisation and mass market culture on the production of childrenâ (TM)s books, as well as the choices governing the production of translations and adaptations of texts for young readers. Representing a broad array of methodological approaches and of representations of childhood, this publication intends to render visible actual manifestations of the tension between...

Ella falleció muy joven y desea tanto regresar a él que lo besó a través del bajo muro de piedra que separa nuestro mundo de la Tierra Seca, donde la hierba está marchita, las estrellas, siempre quedas, y los amantes se cruzan sin reconocerse. Cada noche, los muertos atraen a Aliso hacia ellos para, a través de él, liberarse e invadir Terramar. Desesperado, Aliso acude al antiguo archimago Gavilán, quien le indica que parta a Havnor en busca de Tenar, Tehanu y el joven Rey Lebannen. Todos juntos e Irian, el dragón de ojos ámbar capaz de transformarse en mujer, viajarán al Bosquecillo Inmanente, en Roke, pues la incursión de los muertos no es el único peligro que amenaza Terramar: los dragones han regresado y, después de siglos de paz, reclaman lo que creen que les pertenece legítimamente...
