Book Description
Secondary school can be quite a challenge, especially if you are a teacher and Arry Trumper is in your class... “If you have read my book about Arry Trumper and his multiple identities, you will remember that when we left him, round about the last page I think it was, he was on the verge of departing from Privy Street Primary School, much to the Head’s relief.” Now older and more dangerous, the boy Trumper, still preferring to be somebody else, runs amok at The Maxi Million Robespierre Academy in a series of comic antics, blags and ruses: even the most sophisticated workings of the CIA seem powerless to stop him. This account of Arry’s various clashes with authority also contains many excellent hints and sound advice, essential to all early teens, on the art of communicating with dead pets and how to bring much-needed Christmas cheer to penniless boys and girls. As a special bonus, Arry also provides a handy guide on how to become a celebrity Black Metal rock star, and demonstrates that the road to a successful career in the modern Church need not be a difficult one, as long as you have a decent action plan under your cassock... The Boy Who Still Preferred to be Somebody Else is an hilarious and engaging tale that will appeal to children aged 11+.

The Utopia Reader, Second Edition
Author: Gregory Claeys
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 147986465X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
The Utopia Reader compiles primary texts from a variety of authors and movements in the history of theorizing utopias. Utopianism is defined as the various ways of imagining, creating, or analyzing the ways and means of creating an ideal or alternative society. Prominent writers and scholars across history have long explored how or why to envision different ways of life. The volume includes texts from classical Greek literature, the Old Testament, and Plato’s Republic, to Sir Thomas More’s Utopia, to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and beyond. By balancing well-known and obscure examples, the text provides a comprehensive and definitive collection of the various ways Utopias have been conceived throughout history and how Utopian ideals have served as criticisms of existing sociocultural conditions. This new edition includes many historically well-known works, little known but influential texts, and contemporary writings, providing an even more expansive coverage of the varieties of approaches and responses to the concept of utopia in the past, present, and even the future. In particular, the volume now includes feminist writings and work by authors of color, and contends with current concerns, such as the exploration of the ecological ideals of Utopia. Furthermore, Claeys and Sargent highlight twenty-first century trends and popular narrative explorations of Utopias through the genres of young adult dystopias, survivalist dystopias, and non-print utopias. Covering a range of original theories of utopianism and revealing the nuances and concerns of writers across history as they attempt to envision different, ideal societies, The Utopia Reader is an essential resource for anyone who envisions a better future.
