Produktinformationen "The heirs of legends"
What significance do the ancient myths of our ancestors have today, and what do they have to do with the challenges of the present? Far more than many believe. In times when social and political uncertainty increases or technological developments rapidly transform our world, these ancient stories are once again gaining attention. This book impressively demonstrates that myths are far more than romantic tales from past centuries. They are coded instructions for action in times of crisis—and those who read them correctly will discover strategies for courage, responsibility, and change. The author combines sound cultural-historical knowledge with modern analysis and makes it clear: The ancient stories of Valhalla, Siegfried, and the gods of the Edda are not just cultural heritage, but practical guidance in turbulent times. They remind us that it is the individual who makes decisions when the community begins to hesitate. They show how to create order out of chaos and why forgetting these stories is a danger to every society. This book is aimed at readers interested in myths, history, and cultural memory—and at all those seeking guidance in the present. Anyone who wants to learn why our ancient stories should not only be passed on, but also understood and utilized, will find inspiration, food for thought, and concrete impulses for action here. An indispensable work for all who see in ancient myths not only the past, but also the guideposts for a self-determined future. Hermann Selchow
