???Why is it that this enormous book, grand and indiscreet, remains inscrutable in the midst of our cultural heritage and frustrates all our efforts to delve into it???? With this question the author refers to the Bible, the most influential book in the imaginative tradition of Western literature. Drawing on his great erudition and interpretive skills, Northrop Frye highlights the uniqueness of the Bible and its difference from all other epics and sacred books. The Bible, according to Frye's original research, allows the analysis of history from a visionary and poetic perspective, which is complemented by science for the understanding of man's nature. In its encyclopedic character, it extends from creation to the end of the world. Building on his well-known theory of mythology, Frye discovers the unified structure of the Bible in the character of its narrative and recurring imagery, in the abundant interweaving of sacred and secular themes and the powerful literary dynamics. All these elements have enriched creative minds over the centuries and constitute the Bible's greatest legacy. This Great Code will never cease to be an extraordinary work of imaginative energy.
