Labyrinth: Symbol of Fear, Rebirth, and Liberation

Description

A labyrinth is an ancient circular diagram found in cultures around the world. Taking an approach both reflective and playful, Helmut Jaskolski traces our fascination with this ambiguous ancient motif and shows, through stories ranging from myths and medieval tales to the labyrinthine fiction of Umberto Eco, that the labyrinth is a living symbol for our time.
