Bøker av Robert (University of Oxford) Smith

Robert Smith's first book entitled My Bunny Rabbit Adventures features his father's repertoire of 1960s bedtime stories about the bunnies who lived in the woods next door. One of the bunnies from those original stories called Hector is featured in this subsequent book, which is a novel about Hector's life and times from the age of two when he first met Robert, the storyteller, to when his first child reaches this impressionable age. It therefore covers Hector's circle of life. You will discover how Hector grew up, what happened to him, what he became, how he coped with the good and bad things that came his way, what he learned from his experiences and from those of others, and finally, how he matured into a grown-up rabbit with a family of his own. The reader will learn about, and gain a better understanding of both their and other peoples' feelings, challenges, and fears and how to deal with them and how to respect and treat others. The novel includes some interesting true stories and facts as part of the story line, which you may find interesting and useful and, hopefully, just utterly amazing too! This book is therefore an ideal first novel for children.

The work of Jacques Derrida can be seen to reinvent most theories; here Robert Smith offers a reading of Derrida's philosophy and an investigation of theories of autobiography. Smith thinks through Derrida's texts in a new way, and finds new perspectives on the work of classical writers including Hegel, Nietszche, Kierkegaard, Freud and de Man.
