The Cry For Myth (1992)

About book The Cry For Myth (1992)

A powerful book that challenges the notion that myths belong to the past, indeed that advocates the necessity for humanity to have myths to live by, that without myths our lives lose structure and meaning.I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Dante's Inferno and The Great Gatsby but it was with May's look at the myth of Faust through three sources - Marlowe, Goethe and Thomas Mann - that he brings the great myth of our times to life.The final chapter on space flight and those first astounding images of the Earth from space back in the 1960s speculates on what our myths may be, may need to be, in the 21st century.
