Winter: The History of a Season

Winter: The History of a Season Book Description It suggests that winter contains much more richness and diversity than all our negative connotations about it and the clichés that fill our minds. Winter has been experienced with the same "coldness" but with different meanings in different geographies and cultures since ancient times; It has gained a cultural place in the collective memory of humanity with its completely different fields and practices ranging from mythology to literature, from painting to religious rituals, from winter sports to natural disasters. The work in your hand considers all these meanings and examines the impact of a change, which we see as a simple natural event, on people and society. In addition, it suggests that this season contains much more richness and diversity than all our negative associations and clichés that fill our minds. Winter: A Cultural History of a Season is a comprehensive study of environmental, artistic and cultural history from the 16th century to the present. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
