Features: This is the breakthrough work of Thomas Bulfinch (1796—1867). In this book, he freely narrates classical stories from Greece, Rome, Northern Europe, and the East, with concise elegance and captivating charm. He adheres to the principle of "pure interest and noble meaning," guiding us away from terror and pornography and leading us to a world beyond the mortal realm: a place of intangible beauty, hope, and fantasy. In myths, people can turn stones into gold, and mythological men and women can live freely. Open Bulfinch's book, and you can return to the "fairy tale world."
Reasons to Read This Book: Myths helped the Greeks rise above the barbaric ways of their lives. Myths will also give self-proclaimed civilized modern people the dream of a glorious and beautiful life: mythmakers can transform a terrifying world into a beautiful one. We recommend this book to the following groups: lovers of popular culture, senior executives, extravagant spenders, admirers of youth, swing dancers, ordinary people in need of humility and honesty, and self-proclaimed civilized people of the 21st century.
What are Myths? Myths are a nation's [fairy tales]. Everyone has a childhood, a time they lived in fairy tales: the treacherous mortal world was irrelevant to them. Every nation also has a childhood, a time it lived in fairy tales, said to be an era of birdsong and fragrant flowers, a warm and happy time.
