So Dear to My Heart


Sterling North - 1943
    The story begins when Jeremiah Tarleton, a lonesome ten-year-old orphan is living with his proud, religious Granny Kinkaid. An artist with her loom, Granny is seeking to tell the complicated and passionate story of Jeremiah's heritage and of her own bitterness against the Tarleton family by weaving a multicolored counterpane of "story covers."Two themes run through Jeremiah's life during the spring of the story. One is the slowly unfolding tale taking shape under Granny's work-gnarled hands, and the other is the boy's fiercely protective affection for a black lamb--a forbidden possession.So Dear To My Heart is a story of emotional depth and beauty filled with the gaiety, songs, dances, and color of Indiana in the early days of the century.Saturday Review wrote: "The story rings with music everywhere; it is itself a kind of prose ballad of backwoods Indiana, merry with a gnarly humor, rapturous with devotion to the teachings of the Good Book."

The Little Prince for Grownups


Roberto Lima Netto - 2012
    The inspiration to write a work of art 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 Jungian psychology concepts to expose some of its buried treasures. As in the book of Saint-Exupéry, the crash that leads the pilot to land in the Sahara desert becomes the beginning of a self-knowledge journey. 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. In addition, there are many stories from the Bible as well as Gnostic texts, and Greek mythology.. Despite being based on Jungian ideas, no psychology knowledge is required to the read the book.
