In his first work of nonfiction, the creator from the multimillion-selling Jack Reacher about The Hero series explores the endurance of heroes from Achilles to Bond, displaying us how this age-old misconception is a simple part of why is us individual. He demonstrates how hero stories continue to form our world – arguing that we need them today as part of your.

In the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we’ve always had our heroes. The hero reaches the center of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why perform these characters continue steadily to encourage us, and why are they so central to storytelling?

Scalpel-sharp for the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is vital reading for anybody trying to write or understand fiction. Child shows us how these stories still form our thoughts and behaviour in an progressively confusing modern globe, and along with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we obtain, we’ll always need heroes.
