Los roles y valores que nuestra cultura ha venido convencionalmente asignando a la mujer y al hombre ya no son válidos. Y si bien desde la aparición del movimiento feminista se han escrito gran cantidad de obras cuestionando la imagen tradicional femenina y aportando muy válidas vislumbres de la nueva mujer -la mujer del siglo XXI-, poco o nada relevante se había aportado respecto a la correspondiente nueva masculinidad. Robert Bly llena por fin ese vacío con esta obra largamente esperada y que fue número uno de las listas de bestseller del New York Times. This was a great book! I have often felt a sense of unfulfillment, a sense that perhaps I had not lived in harmony with my soul's longings or my real sense of purpose, and this book clarified why that feeling exists, both in myself, and in many men. I believe that reading and understanding this book has put me on a new path of discovering the real and true inner "men" and I embrace that journey of discovery with enthusiasm, thanks to the road map this book offers. Too mystical, too much reliance on shaky metaphors and mythological reinterpretations of bullshit. Also, one gets the impression that Bly is absolutely in love with himself; he'll present poems written by himself as evidence for his point, which would be sketchy under the best circumstances, but when combined with terrible poetry, it becomes unforgivable. Save yourself some time and skip over this one. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
In this deeply learned book, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man. Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men and reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," in which the narrator, or "Wild Man," guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten-images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered. Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is a rare work that will continue to guide and inspire men, and women, for years to come.
