'This book can save lives. This book can change lives. This book
can help to bring forth another generation of boys who dare to be
different.' Benjamin ZephaniahPrince charming, dragon slayer,
mischievous prankster...More often than not, these are the
role-models boys encounter in the books they read at home and at
school. As a boy, there is an assumption that you will conform to a
stereotypical idea of masculinity. But what if you're the introvert
kind? What if you prefer to pick up a book rather than a sword?
What if you want to cry when you're feeling sad or angry? What if
you like the idea of wearing a dress?There is an ongoing crisis
with regards to young men and mental health, with unhelpful gender
stereotypes contributing to this malaise.Stories for Boys Who Dare
to Be Different offers a welcome alternative narrative. It is an
extraordinary compilation of 100 stories of famous and
not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single
one of them a rule-breaker and innovator in his own way, and all
going on to achieve amazing things. Entries include Frank Ocean,
Salvador Dali, Rimbaud, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Stormzy, Ai Weiwei
and Jesse Owens - different sorts of heroes from all walks of life
and from all over the world.A beautiful and transporting book
packed with stories of adventure and wonderment, it will appeal to
those who need the courage to reject peer pressure and go against
the grain. It is the must-have book for all those boys who worry
about stuff and all those parents who worry about their boys who
worry about stuff. It will educate and entertain, while also
encourage and inspire.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
