Description
During the summer of 1999, Le Monde published a series of articles by Véronique Maurus on six great founding myths of the West: Dracula, Melusine, Faust, King Arthur, William Tell and Atlantis. To find the "truth" behind these myths, she studied their origin, reality and meaning, and, with an original approach, questioned various specialists. She decided to travel to those places where the myths originated. In restoring the setting, she turned these myths into reality. Rediscovering these tales in all their depths and richness, Maurus gives the reader the impression of witnessing them first hand. Voyage au pays des mythes is an initiation and a surprising story revealing the subconsciousness of a human community crystallized in a myth.
