In this innovative book, Martin Buckner takes us on a fascinating journey through time and across the Earth to reveal the truth about how stories and literature created the world we live in today. By selecting sixteen foundational texts from more than four thousand years of world literature, the author shows us how writing inspired the rise and fall of empires and nations, the spark of philosophical and political ideas, and the birth of religious beliefs. |
