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.
Summer afternoons serve for a lot of things and you have to admit it. A nap, bathing in the sun until settles down that dark-haired who has asked you to smile for a photo ... Ok, happened to me. What is certain, in these long afternoons we enjoy the company of friends, first love, moments full of fun and complicity. Summers change the mood, we laugh, we travel discovering wonderful landscapes and, perhaps, we settle with that person who moves around our world. In another era, the dances were the perfect time for those who immersed their hearts into the memories faster than usual. It's the time when we take refuge in breeze, discovering the passion on the skin of two bodies that come together to experience an unforgettable story... Yes, for many things, even for reading, seven stories get opened in a summer afternoon.
Rabindranath Tagore was a polymath, poet, musician, and artist from the Indian subcontinent. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal". This book contains: - The Cabuliwallah. - The Home-Coming. - Onde There Was A King. - The Child's Return. - Master Mashai. - Subha. - The Postmaster.

I wanted to give a voice to certain individuals who have been crying out for someone, anyone to hear them. These individuals, these seven characters have a story to tell. Some of them are comical, some are shocking, but all of them are true. The seven lifestyles in this book represent some real struggles and some real pain. When we think about a sinner, we think about someone who is morally corrupt and one who has given their life over to the pleasures of the flesh. I have drawn no conclusions and made no judgments concerning any of these lifestyles or choices. I want the reader to examine what these characters speak about and then examine themselves.
