About the product «This book is about how stories — from TV commercials to daydreams or parodies of armwrestling competitions — saturate our lives. It is about the depth of meaning contained in the joyful confusion of children’s fantasies, and about the ancient origins of storytelling; about how fiction gradually shapes what we believe in, how we behave and what we consider ethical — how it changes the entire culture and history of mankind; about the ancient mysteries of amazing night stories that we call dreams; about how the brain processes information and orders chaos of our existence. It is also about the vague present of fantasies, and their future full of hope. In short, it is about the great mystery of fiction. How did we become animals that tell stories? » (Jonathan Gottshall).
