What has made me this way? he asks. An answer eludes him by day; at night he reads fantastic books in which he can only hope to learn some right path along the potholed roads leading to the end of the twentieth century.The day Ernest opens Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky's voice shouts at him over the noise made constant by his daytime life. What he hears from the Russian master-storyteller makes the case for his next move. Murder, on a notorious scale.Twenty-five years later, Ernest is asked to recall the day in his life when he had planned to kill his classmates. This time he does not hear Dostoevsky speaking, but his own voice coming from behind the horror of what he had done, and what he hadn't.The Janitor: Or, Dostoevsky in America carries with it the passions of the frightened, the angry: those children compelled to react in the name of self-defined safety, and lone survival. Sometimes, the sum of all actions does not define a life."Let me tell you the one about the Goat turned Hero..."Click on the book cover to view Amazon's "Look Inside" and read sample pages.

Long ago, the 3 magics of the world came together to bring balance to the universe. Europe brought a staff carved from the Tree of Life. Asia brought a jade orb, imbued with magical power. Africa brought a gold bowl, decorated to look like the wings of magical birds, one wing to represent each magic: a crane for Asia, a hawk for Africa, and a raven for Europe.

Le démon japonais est réputé pour avoir un visage effrayant. C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi le théâtre Nō s'en inspire, à travers le masque du Oni. Canines pointues, cornes du diable, visage rouge et yeux enragés, le Oni fait peur et il semble bien souvent maléfique.Cependant, le démon japonais n'est pas aussi mauvais que sa réputation. Il arrive parfois que les Kami (dieux du Shintoïsme), et Bouddha lui-même, soient protégés par ces démons mythiques qui prônent la morale et la juste autorité.Bien sûr, le démon japonais n'est pas que protection: qu'il torture les âmes dans son chaudron géant ou qu'il dévore des enfants, le Oni est un Yokai qu'il faut craindre dans la plupart des situations et dès le plus jeune âge.Grâce à cet ouvrage, vous allez découvrir toute la richesse culturelle de cette créature qui participe aux fondamentaux du folklore japonais. De l'horrible Onibaba au pitoyable Hitotatara, voici une compilation d'étonnantes histoires des démons du Japon. Réponse au commentaire du 23 août 2022: en effet ce livre ne comprend pas de contes adaptés à une lecture auprès d'enfants, le soir venu. Ce sont de vrais petits mythes qui sont apparus à divers endroits du Japon, qui plairont particulièrement à ceux qui apprécient le Folklore dans son ensemble et à ceux qui portent un intérêt à la culture japonaise. Réponse au commentaire du 27 septembre 2021: il s'agit de petites histoires et mythes dont on a parfois que très peu d informations. J'aurais pu ne pas ajouter ces éléments culturels néanmoins même quelques lignes sur un Oni précis peuvent rajouter de la complexité à cette espèce de Yokai. Voilà pourquoi il n'y a parfois que peu d'informations sur un Oni précis: ce ne sont pas des récits d'invention mais des témoignages localisés sur les Yokai.

For the first time, Neeley's delicately- balanced life is spiraling out of control as she experiences prejudice firsthand, and fights to protect her secrets and her sanity. Will the courage of others, who daily battle bigotry, inspire Neeley to draw from a deep place of grace to face her fears, and to accept her truth?
