Aprašymas

The tribes of North America and their folk tales are deeply fascinating because they are unique amongst the mythologies of the world. The tribes were isolated from outside influence for thousands of years and developed a fruitful, empathetic relationship with their landscape, evolving a tradition that respected and feared nature in equal measure. The same themes can be found in the stories -- of the relationships between humans and animals, of gods and supernatural powers -- all to explain the world around them. The retold tales collected for this new book celebrate the diverse tribal vision of a rich and powerful land that still resonates today. Part of a new series on The World's Greatest Myths and Legends, these books capture the mystery and drama of ancient legends through all the key stories and folktales featuring gods, heroes, monsters and animals, as well as common themes such as creation, love, death and courage. Each book features an introduction to the history, landscape, characters and culture of the mythology.
