Description

Booker proposes an entirely new thesis about the nature of storytelling. From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Jaws, Booker shows that there are a number of basic themes which continually reappear in the storytelling of mankind, shaping tales of very different kinds and from almost every age and culture.
