“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
A masterclass in telling stories and how they shape our world from the internationally renowned narrative expertTo command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency?John Yorke has revolutionised our understanding of story structure. In this new book he delves deeper into how to put that structure to work in the world. Trip to the Moon takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and nonwestern narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create lifechanging tales and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too.Revealing the artful symmetry and underlying principles that connect Summer beach reads to Classical Chinese poetry, superhero flicks to Russian arthouse, and classical rhetoric to state propaganda, Yorke makes dazzling connections that show how stories have the power to transfigure the chaos of our existence into a new equilibrium, and make the world anew.
