About The Book
In The Stories We Tell: Mythology to Make Sense of Modern Lives, renowned mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik draws from India’s vast treasure of myths and legends to offer a fresh perspective on contemporary life. This collection of seventy-two stories explores timeless themes and brings ancient knowledge into the context of the twenty-first century.
The stories are organized into themes such as ‘Apsara,’ which reflects on the portrayal of women in ancient texts, and ‘Karma,’ ‘Justice,’ and ‘Appropriation or Exchange,’ which shed light on how our modern ideals of justice are influenced by ancient scriptures. Pattanaik also delves into ‘Unconditional Love,’ exploring the balance required between loving partners, and ‘Devas and Asuras,’ illustrating how the binary of right and wrong is far more nuanced than it may appear.
Originating from the author’s popular webcast, Teatime Tales, this book presents these myths in an engaging narrative style, offering insightful lessons on how ancient mythology continues to shape and influence our lives today.
