Immortality Tales explores humanity's age-old fascination with eternal life, delving into its impact on mythology, philosophy, and literature. The book examines how the desire to transcend death has shaped cultural narratives and influenced our understanding of human aspirations.
Intriguingly, the earliest myths, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, reflect this longing, while philosophical debates question the very desirability of immortality. This interdisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive view, progressing from the origins of immortality beliefs to philosophical implications and literary representations.
The book argues that this pursuit, literal or metaphorical, reflects a deep yearning for meaning and legacy. By weaving together insights from history, philosophy, and literature, Immortality Tales offers a unique perspective on how our views on death influence our values and societal structures.
