The Hobbit, Eragon, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, heroic fantasy books and films, video games and fiction in general continue to inspire our times. Dragons, mages, wizards, sages and heroes mark the spirits in a society in crisis which is in great need of entertainment, of dreams and of reconnecting with the power of imagination. In short, all these works testify to a strong need to believe in a better and re-enchanted world. In this book, Chloé Chamouton focuses on the figure of the druid, she delivers an analysis of the figures of wisdom to highlight an archetypal structure of our collective unconscious that resurfaces today in various forms through books, films, series, comics.
