AUTOR: GOTTSCHALL, Jonathan
EDITORIAL: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Libros en inglés.
In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of
storytelling. Drawing on neuroscience and evolutionary biology, “The Storytelling Animal”
explores what stories reveal about human nature, how we process information,
and think about the world.
Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin
fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and
criminal trials unfold as narratives. Gottschall argues that stories help us
navigate life’s complex social problems just as flight simulators prepare
pilots for difficult situations. Storytelling
has evolved, like other behaviors, to ensure our survival. Gottschall tells us what it means to be a storytelling animal and
explains how stories can change the world for the better.
We know we are master shapers of story. “The Storytelling Animal” finally
reveals how stories shape us.
