FABLES FROM VILLA VIVA: THE STUPID GOOSE
Humorous Tales of Independent Thinking, Responsibility, and the Dangers of Group Behaviour...
A Children’s Book for Grown-Ups, Inspired by Times That Should Never Have Been.
Welcome to Villa Viva, where whimsical storytelling meets profound truths. This unique collection of modern fables is inspired by classic tales and offers timeless lessons on independence, responsibility, and the dangers of group behaviour. With humour and depth, "The Stupid Goose" introduces readers to a world that feels both familiar and thought-provoking.
Meet The Stupid Goose:
In this first tale, we follow The Stupid Goose, a character as insightful as she is misunderstood. She is quick to see what others ignore and yet, rather than praised, she’s labelled “stupid” by those who prefer comfort and complacency to facing hard truths. Her story reminds us that seeing clearly and speaking truth is often a solitary path, but one worth taking.
Why This Book is for You:
A Playful, Insightful Journey: Each story is crafted with humor and charm, yet layered with Stoic wisdom and insight into what it means to think for oneself.
Relatable Characters and Timeless Lessons: The characters of Villa Viva mirror our own struggles with peer pressure, responsibility, and the challenge of staying true to our convictions.
For Readers Who Value Independent Thought: This book invites readers to question, reflect, and appreciate the power of independent thinking, resilience, and personal growth.
wilderness state reading recommendations
Astrid Lindgren
Astrid made Pippi Longstocking as a symbol of personal freedom because she represents a freedom from social norms, an independence from authorities, and a courage to be oneself without compromise. She encourages readers to consider freedom as a valuable part of being human and to appreciate their own individuality.
Soren Kirkegaard
Soren Kierkegaard believed in the driving force of the free individual through his concept of self-determination and choice. He emphasized that humans are responsible for choosing and defining their own existence, independent of external influences or determinism.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau is considered a forefather of the free individual due to his ideas about natural rights and freedom of the individual. Rousseau argued that in its natural state, humanity is free and unrestricted by societal norms and conventions. He believed that society and its laws could restrict human freedom and natural rights, which he criticized in his work "The Social Contract."
Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir's anti-authoritarian philosophy centers around existentialism and feminism, emphasizing individual freedom and autonomy. She critiques traditional authority structures that limit personal development and self-expression, advocating for individuals to define their own existence and resist societal expectations and norms that oppress or restrict them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche's philosophy exalts the free-spirited individual who strives for self-mastery, creativity, and authenticity, while rejecting the dominance of external authorities that seek to constrain personal freedom and potential. His work continues to inspire discussions on personal autonomy, ethical individualism, and the critique of authoritarianism in various forms.
