Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through the labyrinth as an architectural structure, cultural concept, and psychological symbol. Beginning with the legendary mazes of antiquity, the author traces the evolution of labyrinths, from the Minotaur-haunted structure of Greek mythology to the elaborate hedge mazes of Renaissance gardens. Along the way, the book explores the history, design, and many cultural, religious, and artistic manifestations of the labyrinth archetype, referencing topics as diverse as Neolithic rock carvings, Gothic cathedrals, churchyard turf mazes, and contemporary land art. The author takes a balanced interdisciplinary approach, drawing on historical records,archaeology, art history, and psychology to consider the significance of the labyrinth across time and cultures. The book offers fascinating insights into the cultural, religious, and psychological significance of this enduring symbol of human creativity.
