সংস্কৃতি: দেবদত্ত পট্টনায়কের পৌরাণিক কাহিনী থেকে 50টি অন্তর্দৃষ্টি

How do myths and stories influence culture? What is the difference between one culture and another and how did these differences come to be? Are cultures fixed or do they change over time?

Devdutt Pattanaik, India's leading mythologist, breaks down the complex maze of stories, symbols and rituals to examine how they shape cultures. He investigates how stories influence perception and construct truths, the cultural roots of the notion of evil and reveals the need for mythology through a telling of various Indian and Western myths. In doing so, he shows how myths reflect the culture they emerge from while simultaneously reinforcing the source.

Culture: 50 Insights from Mythology is a groundbreaking work that contextualizes mythology and proposes that myths are alive, dynamic, shaped by perception and the times one lives in.
