      Wikingowie to byli wprost okropni brutale, co walili się ciągle po łbach. Wtedy bycie mężczyzną oznaczało po prostu, że wzbudzało się w innych strach. Choć walczyli zaciekle całe dnie oraz noce, choć walczyli osobno i wspólnie, myślę, że Wikingowie mimo wszystko nie byli mężczyznami dobrymi szczególnie. Czas najwyższy na zmianę, dziś są inne sposoby, by mężczyzną prawdziwym się stać. Czas, by zmienić nawyki i by to, co najlepsze, w sobie odkryć i innym to dać. Scott Stuart w tej inspirującej i zabawnej historii rozprawia się ze stereotypowymi wzorcami męskości, pokazując, jak wspierać dzieci w ich wyborach i wychować pewnych siebie chłopców. Książka w duchu wychowania w otwartości. Dodaje chłopcom odwagi i zachęca ich do bycia sobą, ucząc, jak być prawdziwym mężczyzną. Jaki powinien być prawdziwy mężczyzna? Powinien walczyć, to jasne, ale o słuszne sprawy i nie mieczem czy szablą, ale na przykład chodząc na manifestacje w obronie słabszych. Powinien być silny, żeby pomagać innym. Powinien być odważny, żeby mieć odwagę powiedzieć przepraszam i umieć się przyznać do strachu. Powinien też umieć okazywać uczucia. I powinien być wolny, żeby móc sobie wybrać taki sposób na życie, jaki mu najbardziej odpowiada. Wtedy będzie szczęśliwy. Do tego przekonuje nas Scott Stuart, ojciec małego mężczyzny. Michał Rusinek, tłumacz o bardzo kolorowym cieniu Dla wszystkich dzieci w wieku 4+ Powyższy opis pochodzi od wydawcy.

      „Der Schatten von Papa ist groß und blau, auch der von Opa, das weiß ich genau. Sein Schatten ist blau und stark und groß. Aber ich fühl mich anders. Was ist mit mir los?“ Ein Junge, der gern Kleider trägt und mit „Mädchensachen“ spielt, ist für manche Menschen „anders“. Wer aber bestimmt eigentlich, was „normal“ oder „anders“ ist? Und ist es wirklich besser, so zu sein wie alle? In diesem Bilderbuch findet ein kleiner Junge einen Weg, zu sich selbst zu stehen – gegen Widerstände, mit Mut und Menschen, die ihn lieben. Eine Geschichte für Kinder ab 5 Jahre, die sich für Diversität, Gleichberechtigung und gegen festgefahrene Rollenbilder stark macht.

      The Last Utopians

      • 336 pages
      • 12 hours of reading

      The Last Utopians delves into the biographies of four key figures--Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman--who lived during an extraordinary period of literary and social experimentation. The publication of Bellamy's Looking Backward in 1888 opened the floodgates of an unprecedented wave of utopian writing. Morris, the Arts and Crafts pioneer, was a committed socialist whose News from Nowhere envisions a workers' Arcadia. Carpenter boldly argued that homosexuals constitute a utopian vanguard. Gilman, a women's rights activist and the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," wrote numerous utopian fictions, including Herland, a visionary tale of an all-female society. These writers, Robertson shows, shared a belief in radical equality, imagining an end to class and gender hierarchies and envisioning new forms of familial and romantic relationships. They held liberal religious beliefs about a universal spirit uniting humanity. They believed in social transformation through nonviolent means and were committed to living a simple life rooted in a restored natural world. And their legacy remains with us today, as Robertson describes in entertaining firsthand accounts of contemporary utopianism, ranging from Occupy Wall Street to a Radical Faerie retreat.
