In a book that explores the phenomenon of stuttering from its practical and physical aspects to its historical profile to its existential implications, Shell, who has himself struggled with stuttering all his life, plumbs the depths of this murky region between will and flesh, intention and expression, idea and word. Looking into the difficulties encountered by people who stutter--as do fifty million world-wide--Shell shows that stutterers share a kinship with many other speakers, both impeded and fluent. This book takes us back to a time when stuttering was believed to be 'diagnosis-induced, ' then on to the complex mix of physical and psychological causes that were later discovered. Ranging from cartoon characters like Porky Pig to cultural icons like Marilyn Monroe, from Moses to Hamlet, Shell reveals how stuttering in literature plays a role in the formation of tone, narrative progression and character.--From publisher description.

Este relato de vida não traz apenas uma experiência particular, mas parte da história da educação brasileira. Educação & Psicologia descreve a formação da autora, as influências familiares e escolares, e a vivência universitária. Destaca a escola primária, uma instituição que fornecia sólidas perspectivas do futuro e, hoje, mostra-se pouco expressiva em formar as crianças. A autora nos remete a um tempo em que o aluno aprendia com disciplina e estudo, sem as facilidades atuais de aprovação.
