Exploring the evolution of American national myths, this book examines how narratives of adventure, individual heroism, and cultural icons reflect societal values and aspirations. It highlights figures like Christ, Shane, and Superman, who embody savior qualities, often appealing to youth. Additionally, it considers more relatable heroes, such as hardboiled detectives, who confront evil in everyday contexts. By analyzing these fantasies, the work seeks to uncover insights into contemporary American identity and the aspirations that shape it.
