Reading this second volume of Sagas of Heroes and Knights is, above all, discovering a refined mythology, endowed with a surprisingly contemporary symbolic richness. Forget everything you've heard about the Middle Ages. A time of fear, darkness, and ignorance. For centuries, we've all been led to believe these stories by lovers of the spotlight of enlightenment. But the truth is somewhat different. The Middle Ages were not a dead time, sandwiched between the splendor of Greco-Roman culture and the ingenuity of the Renaissance. In reality, they were a time of creative richness and fascinating cultural complexity. A complexity that had to wait a long time to find hands capable of untangling it. The hands of historians, like those of Georges Duby, or even art scholars, like those of Umberto Eco. But also ears, like those of the millions of people today captivated by Gregorian chant and the reinterpretations of medieval themes by the group Dead Can Dance. To these illustrious hands, we could add those of the author of this collection: writer and essayist Martin Beheim-Schwarzbach. Almost anonymous hands, who knew how to select and rewrite, in accessible language, some of the most beautiful tales of medieval mythology. These are tales that most of us Brazilians only know by hearsay. Rare were those who had access to the full text. So, here's a piece of advice: if you think that, upon opening this book, you'll see only stories of castles, solitary knights, wizards, and princesses with milky skin and explosive blue eyes leap out at you, forget it. Reading these tales is, above all, discovering a refined mythology, endowed with a profusion of symbols that, even today, is a constituent part of our Western imagination. For these and other reasons, reading \"Sagas of Heroes and Knights\" is essential.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159613915388,"sku":"9788521902584","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1981612ea510ea7d4eb18d54876ae135_bc6dc83e-e0b3-448a-af77-6786536bcaa4.jpg?v=1778325574"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/martin-beheim-schwarzbach.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
