Description
Dragon: Fear and Power by Martin Arnold Dragons have captivated human imagination for thousands of years, appearing in various forms and meanings across cultures. From fire-breathing beasts of myth to supernatural agencies of imperial authority, these creatures evoke our deepest fears and fascinations. This cultural history explores the unifying impulses behind dragons, tracing their evolution from ancient times to modern media. Arnold examines how our need to impose order on chaos, our terror of nature, and our mortality might be connected to the enduring presence of dragons in our collective imagination. By examining the history of ideas about dragons, Arnold sheds light on what draws us to these creatures, and why they continue to captivate us today.
