Mirror, Mirror (eBook, ePUB)

How narrative and storytelling shapes our lives

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Stories are powerful things. Books are powerful things. This is why people burn and ban them... books and stories contain ideas, and ideas are bulletproof."

We are all surrounded by stories. Whether you know it or not, we are all storytellers. From books, film and television to the way we convey daily information, stories shape the way we communicate and view the world around us.

With warmth and personal insight, A B Endacott explores the ways in which the stories we read, write and consume tell us something about our collective humanity and gives us the opportunity to step beyond ourselves and the limitations of our single lived experience.

Drawing on a broad range of stories from mythology to Disney films, the reader is encouraged to question how storytelling is vital to our understanding of who we are, and the power they have to transform our world view.

Autorenporträt

Alice Boér-Endacott is a Melbourne-based author whose published works include six fantasy titles. With an academic background in Anthropology, French, Executive Management, and Islamic Politics (four fields that aren't necessarily considered natural combinations), and nearly a decade of work in and around high schools teaching and tutoring English, Creative Writing, and Debating (three areas that are often considered reasonably natural combinations), she finds writing the way to combine and express the myriad of thoughts and ideas circling around her head. When she isn't writing, she's either thinking about writing, or eating, and very occasionally performing the role of Secretary for LoveOzYA (an organisation that seeks to champion Australian Young Adult literature). She is a cat person, travel lover, and adorer of chocolate and wine.
