In the grand tradition of the scholar-adventurer, acclaimed author Richard Cohen
takes us around the world to illuminate our relationship with the star that
gives us life. Drawing on more than seven years of research, he reports from
locations in eighteen different countries. As he soon discovers, the Sun is
present everywhere—in mythology, language, religion, politics, sciences, art,
literature, and medicine, even in the ocean’s depths. For some ancient
worshippers, our star was a man abandoned by his spouse because his brightness
made her weary. The early Christians appropriated the Sun’s imagery, with the
cross becoming an emblem of the star and its rays, and the halo a variation of
that. Einstein helped replicate the Sun’s power to create the atomic bomb, while
Richard Wagner had Tristan inveigh against daylight as the enemy of romantic
love. In this splendidly illustrated volume packed with captivating facts,
extraordinary myths, and surprising anecdotes, Cohen not only explains the star
that so inspires us, but shows how multifacted our relationship with it has
been—and continues to be.
