According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". Highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country. Gustave Flaubert (12 December 1821 – ) was a French novelist. He leaves to escape his future (much like Oedipus). He almost brings the curse to fruition twice: he drops a sword while standing on a ladder near his father, and he pins his mother's white shawl against a wall with a javelin because it looked like a bird's wings. A stag curses him to kill his own parents. After Julian kills a mouse who interrupted his concentration in church, his cruelty towards animals grows and culminates into his massacre of an entire valley of deer. His father is told that he will marry into the family of a great emperor, while his mother is told he will be a saint. He is predicted at birth to do great things. But what will Abuela think about the mess he makes - and even more importantly, what will she think about how Julián sees himself? Mesmerizing and full of heart, Jessica Love's author-illustrator debut is a jubilant picture of self-love and a radiant celebration of individuality." The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitalier", in French La légende de Saint-Julien l'hospitalier, is a story about Julian the Hospitaller. When Julián gets home, daydreaming of the magic he's seen, all he can think about is dressing up just like the ladies in his own fabulous mermaid costume: a butter-yellow curtain for his tail, the fronds of a potted fern for his headdress. Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train car. While riding the subway home from the pool with his abuela one day, Julián notices three women spectacularly dressed up. In an exuberant picture book, a glimpse of costumed mermaids leaves one boy flooded with wonder and ready to dazzle the world.

That, to me, was what empowerment looked like.īut Dr. As the story progresses, Julián comes out to his abuela, becoming more and more secure in himself and how he “fits” into his community. This was apparent to me in the first few pages in which Julián looks questioningly at a picture book of mermaids that his abuela had given him. What I felt then was the power and love that Julián’s abuela felt in encouraging her young grandson to grow into his authentic self. Had I known then - when I read and loved and wrote about Julián Is a Mermaid - what I know now, I would not have published the review as I wrote it.
