Cinderella's Gold Slipper by S. D. Fohr Pdf

Samuel D. Fohr holds that the Grimms' tales are not just childish 'fairy tales', but are filled with spiritual symbolism, and as such have value for adults as well as children. Snow White, for example, is a story of creation and spiritual growth, and its message parallels Hindu and Judaic creation myths. Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella both portray the journey back to God. Fohr also looks at recurring themes in the stories, and answers such questions as: Why are giants always evil and dwarves always good? What is the symbolic significance of the hungry wolf who appears in many stories? Exactly what are genies, and why are they always trapped in bottles? A delightful but serious examination of cherished stories, this book reveals new meaning in familiar tales. Also included is an extensive bibliography and an Appendix on the authenticity of the Grimms' tales. The author is a professor of philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Michigan and has taught courses in both Western and Eastern Philosophy. He is the author of Adam and Eve: The Spiritual Symbolism of Genesis and Exodus, and editor of more than a dozen volumes of The Collected Works of Rene Guenon. To say that Fohr retrieves fairy tales from the nursery on the one hand, and retrieves them from mere entertainment for adults on the other, is only the start of the matter. Like Freud, Jung, and Levy-Strauss, he recognizes the wisdom folktales embody, but he goes beyond those students of myth in arguing that the authors knew what they were doing: they crafted their tales consciously. This is a courageous and cogent book that goes a long way toward revalidating a literary genre that modernity has irresponsibly trivialized. - Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions, etc.

Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah Pdf

More than 800,000 copies in print! From the author of critically acclaimed and bestselling memoir Falling Leaves, this is a poignant and moving true account of her childhood, growing up as an unloved daughter in 1940s China. A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots." In her own courageous voice, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph in the face of despair. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her, and life does not get any easier when her father remarries. Adeline and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled with gifts and attention. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for -- the love and understanding of her family. Like the classic Cinderella story, this powerful memoir is a moving story of resilience and hope. Includes an Author's Note, a 6-page photo insert, a historical note, and the Chinese text of the original Chinese Cinderella.

The Golden Slipper by Valia Lind Pdf

A girl with a dream. A prince without magic. A masquerade ball that changes their lives forever. Miraslava has spent her life dreaming of freedom from her family and servitude. Her cruel step mother and step sisters have done everything in their power to make Mira's existence unbearable. But Mira is a planner. She's been taking odd jobs around town, saving up for a portal passage to the human realm-the one place her family can't reach her. When the royal family announces a week-long celebration-with a ball every other night-her friend offers her a job that lands her in the castle. And right into the arms of the crowned prince of Skazka. Luca isn't exactly what Mira has pictured, with his mischievous eyes and a kind smile, keeping his own secrets. She knows she has no time to dream about unattainable boys, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to remember to stay away. But fate-and magic-have other plans. A little makeover, a dance beneath the Skazka stars, and a giant turquoise cat throw Mira down a path she never could've imagined. With her cruel family watching her every move, and a gorgeous prince trying to steal her heart, is it any surprise Mira loses a shoe? And when the clock strikes midnight, Mira might lose more than that-she might lose her heart. The Golden Slipper is a retelling of the traditional Russian Cinderella fairytale. Set in the world of Skazka, this complete stand-alone novel is full of slow-burn romance, banter, strong friendships, and heart!
