Description

A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong The stories we tell ourselves about the world and our place in it have been a constant part of human culture since the earliest days of our species. In this thought-provoking book, Karen Armstrong explores the power and significance of mythology, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day. From the myths of our ancestors to the stories that shape our modern imagination, Armstrong reveals the enduring importance of myth in our lives. With clarity and insight, she shows how the myths we tell ourselves continue to shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. This book is a fascinating exploration of the role of myth in human society, and a compelling argument for its continued relevance in our modern world.
