Download or read book Time And Myth written by John S. Dunne and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is man, apart from the things of his life, apart from loving and fighting and dying? In his exploration of that fundamental question, John S. Dunne considers the different ways in which man strives throughout his life for immortality. Growing out of the 1971 Yale University Thomas More lectures which Father Dunne delivered in that year, Time and Myth analyzes the man’s confrontation with the inevitability of death in the cultural, personal, and religious spheres, viewing each as a particular kind of myth that takes its form from the impact of time upon the myth. With penetrating simplicity the author poses the timeless dilemma of the human condition and seeks to resolve it through stories of adventures, journeys, and voyages inspired by man’s encounter with death; stories of childhood, youth, manhood, and age; and, finally, stories of God and of man wrestling with God and the unknown. The result is a fascinating “odyssey of the mind in which one travels through the wonderland of other cultures, lives, and religions only to return with new insight to the homeland of one’s own.”

An adolescent found the courage in his frailty to renounce everything and escape into the refuge of the wilderness of Northern India. Due to a vivid nightmare, he faltered at the last moment and stayed put within the confines of his tormented urban existence. A year passed and his compulsive impulse for that escape was suppressed.

In doing so, he transformed himself into a true backpacker. But something was still amiss. Love. It took just one woman to undo all the good. The adolescent turned man found himself weaker than ever before and drenched in despair. He was back where he started, fighting the same impulse to escape into the Northern Mountains. Will the road cease for him or will he find a silver lining ahead? See where his path leads him in A Bittersweet Nostalgia.
