Download or read book Tending the Heart of Virtue: How Classic Stories Awaken a Childs Moral Imagination written by Vigen Guroian and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the popularity of William Bennetts Book of Virtues attests, parents are turning more and more to childrens literature to help instill values in their kids. Now, in this elegantly written and passionate book, Vigen Guroian provides the perfect complement to books such as Bennetts, offering parents and teachers a much-needed roadmap to some of our finest childrens stories. Guroian illuminates the complex ways in which fairy tales and fantasies educate the moral imagination from earliest childhood. Examining a wide range of stories--from Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid to Charlottes Web, The Velveteen Rabbit, The Wind in the Willows, and the Chronicles of Narnia--he argues that these tales capture the meaning of morality through vivid depictions of the struggle between good and evil, in which characters must make difficult choices between right and wrong, or heroes and villains contest the very fate of imaginary worlds. Character and the virtues are depicted compellingly in these stories; the virtues glimmer as if in a looking glass, and wickedness and deception are unmasked of their pretensions to goodness and truth. We are made to face the unvarnished truth about ourselves, and what kind of people we want to be. Throughout, Guroian highlights the classical moral virtues such as courage, goodness, and honesty, especially as they are understood in traditional Christianity. At the same time, he so persuasively evokes the enduring charm of these familiar works that many readers will be inspired to reread their favorites and explore those they may have missed.

Download or read book Tending the Heart of Virtue written by Vigen Guroian and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pinocchio to The Chronicles of Narnia to Charlotte's Web, classic children's tales have shaped generations of young people. In recent years, homeschoolers and new classical schools have put these masterpieces of children's literature at the center of their curricula. And these stories continue to be embraced by parents, students, and educators alike. In Tending the Heart of Virtue, Vigen Guroian illuminates the power of classic tales and their impact on the moral imagination. He demonstrates how these stories teach the virtues through vivid depictions of the struggle between good and evil, while he also unveils components of the good, the true, and the beautiful in plot and character. With clarity and elegance, Guroian reads deeply into the classic stories. He demonstrates how these stories challenge and enliven the moral imaginations of children. And he shows the reader how to get "inside" of classic stories and communicate their lessons to the child. For more than two decades Tending the Heart of Virtue has been embraced by parents, guardians, and teachers for whom the stories it discusses are not only beloved classics but repositories of moral wisdom. This new revised edition includes three new chapters and an expanded annotated bibliography in which Guroian interprets such stories as Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling, the Grimms' Cinderella, and John Ruskin's The King of the Golden River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. For this new edition, the author has revised the work throughout and added a new introduction bringing this classic title up to date.

Download or read book XHOSA FOLK & FAIRY TALES - 21 Xhosa children's stories from Nelson Mandela's homeland written by George McCall Theal and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xhosa Folk & Fairy Tales contains 21 Xhosa folk and fairy tales for children plus a section on the Proverbs and Figurative Expressions of the Xhosa. Nelson Mandela, or Madiba, was a Xhosa and these are the stories he would have been told as a boy. Herein you will find stories like: The Story of Sikulume The Story pf Mbulukazi The Story of Long Snake The Story of Kenkebe The Story of The Wonderful Horns The Story of The Glutton The Story of The Great Chief Of The Animals; to name but a few. Like Native Americans and most other African folk and fairy stories, each story carries a moral as they were used to teach children the morals and lessons they would carry with them through life. Despite this, they are also extremely amusing and entertaining. But the tribes of South Eastern Africa were not as isolated as many would think. Long before the Europeans arrived on the coast of South East Africa, Indians and Arabians had been trading regularly along this coast, mostly for gold and slaves and often venturing far inland to obtain either or both. There was also frequent contact with, at least, the neighbouring tribes of the Bechuana, the Zulu, the Sotho, the Qwa Qwa and the Gariep. Indeed, many locally crafted items found their way North to the ancient city-state of Great Zimbabwe, some even making it as far afield as India and Arabia. In the days long before Radio, TV and the Internet, many a traditional story would have been shared around a blazing campfire and it is with this mix of Indian, Arabian and inter-tribal African cultures that stories, or fragments of stories, would have been swapped with the peoples they met. So, if one of these stories should ring with familiarity, you don’t have to look far to find the reason for it. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Xhosa folklore, folk tales, Fairy Tales, African myths, African legends, fables, childrens stories, childrens books, storyteller, Bird That Made Milk, Five Heads, Tangalimlibo, Girl, Disregard for Custom Of Ntonjane, Simbukumbukwana, Sikulume, Hlakanyana, Demane And Demazana, Runaway Children, Wonderful Feather, Ironside And His Sister, Cannibals, Wonderful Bird, Cannibal Mother, Children, Mbulu, monster, creature, Mbulukazi, Long Snake, Kenkebe, Wonderful Horns, Glutton, Great Chief, Animals, Hare, Lion, Little Jackal, Proverbs, Figurative Expressions, south east Africa, south Africa, Xosa, click language, nelson Mandela, Nguni, Swazi, Sotho, Bechuana, Qwa Qwa, India, Arabia, Gariep, Transkei, kei river,
