Description
Lutters uses his enormous understanding of classical literature to draw very fine analogies with other warriors of the spirit in history and sheds warm light on the transformative power of love that is the secret weapon of every classical hero we can find. Likening Harry Potter to Percival and drawing on his knowledge of the intense experience of recognition Joanne Rowling had on a train when she saw Harry Potter through a rainy train window and then knew she had to write about him, Lutters us lures us into pondering. This thought provoking book looks beyond the glitter of the movies, the paraphernalia, and the “hype” surrounding these fine works of story telling and invites readers to reconsider the real task of these stories.
