Product Description
Karen Armstrongs concise yet compelling investigation into the history of myth takes us from the Palaeolithic period and the mythology of the hunters right up to the Great Western Transformation of the last 500 years. She shows us that the history of myth is the history of humanity, and our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. Myths help us make sense of the universe, and of ourselves. Armstrongs characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense - and why we dismiss it only at our peril.
