The Book of Myths - Jean Lang - Bog

The Book of Myths by Jean Lang is a comprehensive collection of myths and legends from different cultures around the world. This book includes over 100 stories from ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, Egypt, and India, as well as lesser-known myths from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Each story is beautifully retold in Lang's engaging and accessible prose, with vivid descriptions of the characters, settings, and events. The book is organized thematically, with sections on creation myths, hero myths, love stories, and more. The Book of Myths is an excellent resource for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, or world cultures.In this little collection of myths, the stories are not presented to the student of folklore as a fresh contribution to his knowledge. The book is intended for those who, in the course of their reading, frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
