        Grandpa's Star

        A Consolation Book for Children and Parents

        by Julia Weißflog, Steffen Ortmüller, Daniel Wende

        Saying goodbye to a loved one is always hard. Jon, the little hero of this story, serves as an example of how children can deal with the pain of loss. When Jon’s grandfather dies, he becomes a star. Jon decides to look for his grandfather’s star to say goodbye, and begins a journey through space and through his own grief. He soon realises that this is no easy search. His feelings alternates between disappointment, euphoria, anger, and sadness. Fortunately, the man on the moon explains to the little astronaut the special  nature and uniqueness of the stars for the relatives on earth. Only there do the stars twinkle and shine for grandchildren, children,  and everyone else who misses the deceased. Jon finally understands that his grandfather is dead, but is not simply gone, because in his memory, in his thoughts, and in the starry sky his grandfather is still there and makes his star shine for everyone who thinks of him.   For: • children (ages 6–12) who suffer from the fear of losing a close family member or who  have lost a family member• parents, relatives• therapists

        Lifework

        On the autobiographical impulse in contemporary art, writing, and theory

        by Moran Sheleg

        Following the critical scepticism surrounding the notion of the 'self' as a singular entity during the 1960s, many artists and writers sought to test the apparent problem posed by autobiography as both a traditional genre and as a way of working. Considering the consequent emergence of autotheory, Lifework traces this shift in artistic and literary production during the late twentieth century and beyond, examining a set of diverse practices that mine the line between what it is to make art and what it is to live life. The book's chapters connect a variety of artistic strategies that cut across medium, geography and time, uncovering how the historical marginalisation of first-person experience has taken on larger social, cultural and political implications in the contemporary moment and how the work of living might still relate to the work of art.

        Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada

        by Dominic Moran, Catherine Davies

        Pablo Neruda's Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (1924) is the most widely read and best loved book of poetry ever written in Spanish. Its verses can be recited by heart by millions of Latin Americans from every background and walk of life, and it has become almost a bible for young lovers. Yet despite, or perhaps because of this immense popular success, it has received scant attention from scholars, often being studied out of context and in relatively superficial fashion. This new critical edition - the first to include critical notes in English - argues that the book constitutes a critical juncture in the young Neruda's development as a poet, and that the poems are as much painstakingly wrought experiments in style, language and form as they are outpourings of youthful passion. A detailed introduction in English demonstrates that the Viente poemas represent the culmination of complex and sometimes fraught poetic apprenticeship, significant traces of which can be found in the poems themselves. This is followed by a series of commentaries which offer close readings of all twenty-one poems, an extensive bibliography, a selected vocabulary, and a list of key rhetorical and metrical terms. ;
