I was around ten years old, sleeping in the back seat of my mom’s car, parked during evenings at the Detroit River. I looked out the window at the stars, as I feared morning until by exhaustion I would fall asleep. I often woke up having wet my pants from my very real and imagined fears. By day, my mom would look for work and wash clothes while I hung out with the old black guys that would spend their day fishing in the Detroit River. I thought I was the only one who grew up in fear, in a world of abuse, until at thirteen I finally met my half-brother at a professional boxing match. He was in sitting next to our dad. Donny looked at me from inside the ring, trying to figure out who I was as the fight announcer was making his formal introductions. All we had shared at this point was the same biological father. Little did we know...

Struck by Lightning while playing alone in the backyard standing on the picnic table with his wooden sword in a rainstorm, a small boy everyone called Peanuts: he was so little lying in the mud looking up at the sky. While feeling an incredible connection with the universe yet not sure he was alive or dead? Abandoned by his parents and placed into foster care. Dyln learns to play football and fight to survive his childhood. Turns out he may have what it takes to become one of the best fighters in the world. Tempted by sex, drugs and music through death and tragedy, Dylan fights for his life to stay on the love word path. Fighting in his daily life and in sports, Dylan was also discovering how to heal himself so he could become instrumental in healing others. He was learning that true Holistic Health meant finding the balance between his mind, body, and spirit, while dealing with the extreme behaviors and events in his life that challenge the universal laws affecting the pillars and balance of his health. Dylan was awakening to the realization that the transformation he was experiencing in his life was like that of caterpillar becoming a butterfly. And that, ultimately, he was put on earth as a fighter and a healer on an incredible journey to become a Shaman!

In The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell writes that myths "carry the keys that open the whole realm of the desired and feared adventure of the discovery of the self (8). Campbell distils mythology into common archetypes, which he calls the monomyth, also known as the Hero's Journey. Campbell's monomyth provides keys to unlocking meaning regarding the nature of heroism in contemporary stories, particularly in post-apocalyptic fiction. Such stories present fictional worlds that exaggerate the need for a hero. In post-apocalyptic literature in which young adults are presented as society's best hope for renewal and reconstruction, the Hero's Journey takes on further meaning regarding the successful transition from childhood to adulthood. This thesis applies archetypal analysis to two contemporary post-apocalyptic novels for adolescent readers, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower (1993) and Mike Mullin's Ashfall (2011), and considers the ways in which the protagonists fulfill Campbell's notion of the questing hero. Lauren Olamina, the central character of Butler's novel, becomes a world-changing hero who provides salvation for humanity. Alex Halprin, the protagonist of Ashfall, comes of age successfully in the face of extremely difficult circumstances and finds hope for the future. Each character offers a model of heroic growth from which readers can take inspiration.

This book sets out to write nothing short of a new theory of the heroic for today's world. It delves into the "why" of the hero as a natural companion piece to the "how" of the hero as written by Northrop Frye and Joseph Campbell over half a century ago. The novels of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo serve as an anchor to the theory as it challenges our notions of what is heroic about nymphomaniacs, Holocaust survivors, spurious academics, cult followers, terrorists, celebrities, photographers and writers of novels who all attempt to claim the right to be "hero."

Imagine stepping into the spotlight of New York and Hollywood, a lifestyle where stardom, celebrity life, and a Chippendale bow tie were the everyday norm? Fame was the dream of an innocent young boy that played out in the heart of a man who in turn lost sight of the boy within. This is their story. Born with severe asthma and enormous dreams, James Gardiner began his life in conflict with himself. Little Jimmy wanted to reach for the stars like his science-fiction icons and become a sports superstar like the paper heroes that adorned the walls of his childhood bedroom. But as a frequent visitor to the local hospital, viewing the world through the plastic walls of an oxygen tent, such dreams seemed like they would always be firmly out of reach. However it was there on the pediatric wing that he began to entertain audiences with his stories and charm, growing to like the attention. In fact, to crave it. He wanted to “be somebody,” and for the first time, his dreams didn’t seem quite so out of reach. As he got older, and his asthma became more manageable, he began forging his path of destiny. First, through the sport of rowing where the fragile young man dared to challenge his asthma and strive for the Olympic podium. Then, it was his lust to be a movie star that thrust him into New York City and Los Angeles to world of fashion, celebrity, and even murder. But it was his one unanswerable question that repeatedly seemed to leave his life in shambles. “Can his fantasy life be his reality” became the albatross that hung over the man... and the boy. Somewhere along the way, he had lost touch with that childlike part of himself that looked at the world each day with joy and wonder. Looking back he had gone “all in” on his quest to be somebody, but now as a middle aged man left with nothing and no one, it was time to reconnect with little Jimmy and go all in on himself . . . to go all in with love. Within their story of reconnection lies the gateway to reclaim your inner child and live your best, most authentic life.

Renowned today for his contribution to the rise of the modern European fairy tale, Giovan Francesco Straparola (c. 1480–c. 1557) is particularly known for his dazzling anthology The Pleasant Nights. Originally published in Venice in 1550 and 1553, this collection features seventy-three folk stories, fables, jests, and pseudo-histories, including nine tales we might now designate for ‘mature readers’ and seventeen proto-fairy tales. Nearly all of these stories, including classics such as ‘Puss in Boots,’ made their first ever appearance in this collection; together, the tales comprise one of the most varied and engaging Renaissance miscellanies ever produced. Its appeal sustained it through twenty-six editions in the first sixty years. This full critical edition of The Pleasant Nights presents these stories in English for the first time in over a century. The text takes its inspiration from the celebrated Waters translation, which is entirely revised here to render it both more faithful to the original and more sparkishly idiomatic than ever before. The stories are accompanied by a rich sampling of illustrations, including originals from nineteenth-century English and French versions of the text. As a comprehensive critical and historical edition, these volumes contain far more information on the stories than can be found in any existing studies, literary histories, or Italian editions of the work. Donald Beecher provides a lengthy introduction discussing Straparola as an author, the nature of fairy tales and their passage through oral culture, and how this phenomenon provides a new reservoir of stories for literary adaptation. Moreover, the stories all feature extensive commentaries analysing not only their themes but also their fascinating provenances, drawing on thousands of analogue tales going back to ancient Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic stories. Immensely entertaining and readable, The Pleasant Nights will appeal to anyone interested in fairy tales, ancient stories, and folk creations. Such readers will also enjoy Beecher’s academically solid and erudite commentaries, which unfold in a manner as light and amusing as the stories themselves.
