 Pharaoh's Dream: The Secret Life of Stories Literature : General 

by Robert Harbison

Hardback in Very Good condition with Dust Jacket in Very Good condition - not price clipped. Light wear.

Published by Martin Secker & Warburg - first edition - 1988. 220 pages. 16.2cm x 24cm.

This extraordinary book shows us that much of the history of the human mind is lurking in the history of stories. Charting the long development of Western narrative from the ancient Gilgamesh to the complex allegories of Proust, it traces the discovery of personality through two main themes: the decline of magical thinking and the rise of the individual.
