The Hero: The Enduring Myth that Makes Us Human
In his first work of non-fiction, Lee Child (creator of Jack Reacher, one of the greatest modern-day literary heroes) explores the archetype of the hero with his trademark punch and precision.
Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and revelatory on the history of myth, The Hero is essential reading that gets to the heart of what it means to be human, because no matter how civilized humanity becomes, we will always need our heroes.
"Part historical fact, part supposition, part connecting the dots with logic, but nobody connects those dots with the skill and elegance that Lee Child has." -- Amazon
