The hidden curriculum contains items that impact social interactions, school performance, and sometimes safety. The hidden curriculum also includes idioms, metaphors, and slang -- things most people just pick up or learn through observation or subtle cues, including body language."--Page [xvi].

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →From "one of the most significant figures of the last generation of fantasy", comes Francesco Dimitri's debut novel in English, an enthralling and seductive fantasy following four old friends and the secrets they keep. Four old school friends have a pact: to meet up every year in the small town in Puglia they grew up in. Art, the charismatic leader of the group and creator of the pact, insists that the agreement must remain unshakable and enduring. But this year, he never shows up. A visit to his house increases the friends' worry; Art is farming marijuana. In Southern Italy doing that kind of thing can be very dangerous. They can't go to the Carabinieri so must make enquiries of their own. This is how they come across the rumours about Art; bizarre and unbelievable rumours that he miraculously cured the local mafia boss's daughter of terminal leukaemia. And among the chaos of his house, they find a document written by Art, The Book of Hidden Things, that promises to reveal dark secrets and wonders beyond anything previously known. Francesco Dimitri's first novel written in English, following his career as one of the most significant fantasy writers in Italy, will entrance fans of Elena Ferrante, Neil Gaiman and Donna Tartt. Set in the beguiling and seductive landscape of Southern Italy, this story is about friendship and landscape, love and betrayal; above all it is about the nature of mystery itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Essay from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: In this paper, the 'Hidden Adult' will be considered as a theoretical framework that helps explain how different textual layers in children’s literature come into being and how adults’ views about children are conveyed by its adult authors. Nodelman, author of the "Hidden Adult," argues that although children’s literature usually offers an easy and simplified access to a topic, adult content is still present at all times. Another theory will prove unavoidable to use: the Freudian concept of the ‘unconscious.’ Many ideas about childhood are used in everyday life as well as in literature, certainly often with the author unaware of that fact. They have become so familiar to almost everyone that they will usually be overlooked. In a first step, I will explain Nodelman’s 'Hidden Adult' in more detail and Freud’s well-known concept of the ‘Unconscious’ will be linked to the conception of the 'Hidden Adult.' To give an example where we can find instances of these ideas I will take a closer look at the "UN Convention on the Rights of a Child" in its child-friendly version.
