Description
Daedalus's life was a maze of contradictions - an artisan driven by war, a designer seeking peace. In this fictional autobiography, Michael Ayrton weaves together tales of past and present to create a myth for our times. We learn of Daedalus's inventions, his fascination with Minoan culture, and the design of the horned Minotaur's maze. His story is one of blundering through life, seeking escape from the pattern that governed him. Through his art and writing, Ayrton explores the enigma of creativity and the human condition. A compelling blend of history, fable, and meditation, The Maze Maker will ensnare readers in its convolutions of life and legend.
