Big Ideas from Literature : how books can change your world
Great stories are often universal: our very souls shine with new ideas when we read them. Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven’t learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives.Books can be a friend when you need one the most and you can use them to help and inspire others, too. Big Ideas from Literature helps the child discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell – and helps the growing child develop empathy and resilience. This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children.The best children’s books become our dearest friends and companions.Children discover characters from a diverse range of books – including J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Young Dark Emu: A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe – and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.

Inspirations : Selections from Classic Literature
'Anthology' comes from the Greek word that stands for garlands - a bouquet of flowers.An anthology then, should be a small token of something much larger.In the case of flowers, they bring to mind the colour & fragrance of the fields, of a season.Coelho's anthology, therefore, is not only a collection of texts or poems, but a gift, something arranged according to his sensitivities, to give to others.The selection of books presented in this volume have been chosen as if from a vast field of flowers, stretching infinitely into time's horizon.Coelho's selection is ordered in to the four elements, symbolizing both our world on all its directions, and the way we dwell in it, the way we say it.In 'Earth' we find writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde and D H Lawrence; in 'Air' Nelson Mandela and Gabriel Garcia Marques; in 'Fire' Rumi and Mary Shelley; in 'Water' Hans Christian Anderson and Machiavelli.
