Top Highlights
- Fiction informs us about the world, but it also shapes it. Some individuals are so inspired by what they have read or seen, they set out to remake the world. Would Alexander the Great have tried to conquer the world without having heard the stories of the Trojan War? Would Napoleon have thought of invading Russia without the example of Alexander?
- Myth is a seductive, poetic enterprise by which we express our deepest wishes, as well as our most profound anxieties.
