Bulfinch’s
Mythology is a modern abridgment by Edmund Fuller. This contains three volumes
of Thomas Bulfinch’s three books: 1. The Age of Fable, 2. The Age of Chivalry,
and 3. Legends of Charlemagne.
The first time I heard a full story
in this book when I was in high school. I sure glad that it was part of the
curriculum. As a story lover and a book worm I was stunned that an apple can
start a war such a little thing that can cause uproar between nations. I am
referring about the Trojan War. I always ask questions but time was very
limited when you have many subjects to study.
This is the first book that I have
purchased with my own hard earned money and has been in my possession for five
years now. It serves as my lullaby at
nights when things are restless for me. It is the medicine of my rejections. It
is the hope of my romance. I never thought Cupid has his own love story. Whereupon the author decides to give him a
happy ending, so far the happy love story in the book as per my understanding.
I have learned that we owe some part of what
we believe in to previous literature. We owe some big thank you to the original
author to the ideas of the movies and books that have been created. This is the
book you ought to have if you want to understand King Arthur, Percy Jackson,
Thor, Sparta 300, and so on.
How
about you what is your first book?
