Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This examination of the heroic journey in world mythology casts the protagonist as a personification of nature--a "botanical hero"--who begins the quest in a metaphorical seed-like state, sprouting into strength to face a mythic underworld. A cyclical promise of continuous life is realized, in which no element fully disappears"-- |
