Henry Cary Bücher

Es gibt im Gedächtnis der Menschen und Kulturen Geschichten, die eine besonders mythische Kraft besitzen. Sie überdauern die Zeiten und bilden den Urstoff des Erzählens. Das Gilgamesch- Epos, die Odyssee, der Sagenkreis um König Artus und das Nibelungenlied gehören ebenso dazu wie Tausendundeine Nacht oder die Geschichte von Don Quijote, dem Ritter von der traurigen Gestalt. C. H. Beck versammelt in einer Auswahl diese Großen Geschichten der Menschheit. Es werden textgetreu berühmte Episoden ausgewählt, um auch einer breiteren Leserschaft diese „klassischen“ Werke nahezubringen. Renommierte Fachleute führen in das Werk, seine Entstehung und seinen literarischen Kontext ein. Die Großen Geschichten der Menschheit sind eine klassische Bibliothek für jedermann - und ein Lesevergnügen von erlesenem Rang. Ausgezeichnet im Wettbewerb „Die schönsten deutschen Bücher 2007“ der Stiftung Buchkunst.
