Sinossi
This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling.
But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose.
Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years.
This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

The Seven Basic Plots
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Muy bueno. : En este libro, Christopher Booker analiza las estructuras de las tramas de las historias y sus significados psicológicos, intentando destilar toda la narración en unos pocos arquetipos. Basándose en una amplia gama de ejemplos, desde Proust hasta las historias de detectives, desde el Marqués de Sade hasta E.T., el autor guía a los lectores a través de los cambios en la naturaleza de la narración en los últimos 200 años, y por qué tantas historias han 'perdido la trama' al perder el contacto con su propósito arquetípico subyacente. Analiza por qué la evolución nos ha dado la necesidad de contar historias e ilustra cómo la narración ha proporcionado un espejo único y revelador del desarrollo psicológico de la humanidad en los últimos 5000 años.
