Coles A Myth For Dragonflies: The Dragonfly Series, #1 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A Myth For Dragonflies is a heartwarming philosophical comedy set in the late 1790s, in the newly formed United States of America, a product of the Enlightenment, where ancient myths and sacred rites of passage have been abandoned for materialistic science and an unimaginative obsession with the mundane. We follow a father and son who have embarked on a dangerous quest. Although we, inheritors of the Enlightenment, claim to be finished with the sacred systems known to have ordered and unified human societies throughout history, these ancient rites of passage are not finished with us. As David Hume suggests in his Treatise On Human Nature (1739), nature has not left it up to men to abandon or to adopt such things. Myth is at the very heart of what it is to be human. There are no human beings without it. Myths are the fundamental stories we tell ourselves that provide the scaffolding on which we construct our collective sense of reality. Considering the natural life cycle of the dragonfly, and the insight into there being more to the universe than meets the eye, a new myth is suggested, which for our characters works to reset the stage on which the human drama can, and some will even say must, continue to unfold.
