Richard's story
by Fernanda Silva Rando John MileRichard's story é um musical para ler inspirado nas canções dos Beatles e conta, numa sucessão de experiências e emoções, a vida do jovem Richard. De “Twist and shout” e ”Please, please me”, passando por “All my loving”, “A hard day’s night”, “I want hold your hand”, chegando a “Help!”, “Yesterday”, “Drive my car”, a história de Richard se desenvolve com “Day tripper”, “Love you to”, “A day in the life”. A viagem continua com “Magical Mistery tour”, “Hello, goodbye” e “Lucy in the sky with diamond”. Momentos felizes descritos por “Obladì, obladà” se alternam com momentos tristes, “Happiness is a warm gun”; o amor fascinante com “Julia” e perturbador com “Oh! Darling” se contrapõe ao desespero em “I’m so tired”; o desejo juvenil de revolta em “Revolution”, contrapõe-se à consciência do amadurecimento e à nostalgia dos tempos passados com “Penny Lane”. Todas as canções dos Beatles são fontes de inspiração para contar, por meio de Richard, as primeiras experiências com as garotas, as primeiras desilusões, a amizade, os primeiros problemas com os pais, a descoberta da alegria, a experiência com a droga, o medo de ficar sozinho, a busca por ajuda e, naturalmente, a descoberta do amor, em todas as suas formas e nuances. Imaginem ser levados em um vórtice de felicidade, dançando o twist. Imaginem ser arrebatados pela paixão do primeiro amor. Imaginem fugir de casa e descobrir lugares novos e conhecer amigos novos. Imaginem fazer uma fantástica viagem com o Magical Mistery Tour em pleno anos 60.
Richmal Crompton, Author of Just William: A Literary Life (Literary Lives)
by Jane McVeighRichmal Crompton, Author of Just William: A Literary Life celebrates the first two William books, Just William (1922) and More William (1922). As well as a study of her famous character William Brown, this book is an introduction to Richmal Crompton’s less well-known fiction and a story about her writing life. Her multifaceted identity—her deep knowledge of Classical Greek and Latin literature and languages, her life as a disabled writer, and her writing about domestic violence and disability—played a role in her literary persona. Jane McVeigh moves beyond Richmal Crompton’s impact on children’s literature and offers an appraisal of all her writing including her novels and short fiction, her media profile on radio and TV, her impact on her readers—both adults and children—and her international success. Particularly, McVeigh considers Crompton in the context of twentieth century woman writers and the development of crossover fiction for dual audiences. The book argues that as a woman writer pigeon-holed as a writer for children, Crompton’s other novels and short stories have been side-lined and overlooked. More than a century after the first book collection of Crompton’s William stories was published, this biography places Richmal Crompton among other twentieth century women writers.
