Описание:

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.

Описание: Mary and Joseph Walsh were one of the most successful and prominent African American families in the community of Macon, GA. Joseph Walsh, a successful lawyer and thereafter the pastor of the Greater Love & Peace Baptist Church with over 2,000 members. Mary Walsh, the mother of 2 exceptional children, Zion & Zina, were the highlight of her life. Then God blessed her with a granddaughter named Zoya. Mary was a firm believer of following God's word and she exemplified holiness. Whatever happened in the Walsh's home, stayed in the Walsh's home according to Mary. Joseph wore the pants in his house, and the robe in his church, however it was Mary that ruled everyone. Zoya is now being reared by her grandmother, and her life is under careful watch and control. Zoya loved the Lord with all her heart, and she took her faith in God very serious at a young age. Joseph taught Zoya the word of God at the early age of 3, and he knew that the calling on her life would change a generation. Zoya is next in line to inherit Greater Love & Peace Baptist Church. Mary is determined to groom Zoya into one of the most successful, and young female Pastors of her time. Mary was making sure that no one, not even God was going to get in her way. However, the control, lies, secrets and betrayal pushed Zoya away from Mary. Zoya ran away and makes New York City her new home, and prostitution becomes her new ministry. Will Zoya ever find God again in the midst of it all? The call to preach is greater than the call of the streets. The battle begins...
