"National myth" as a book category covers works that treat the stories, symbols, and shared narratives a people use to define a nation—its origins, heroes, founding events, triumphs, traumas, and values. It includes popular retellings of legends and founding tales, historical and folkloric studies, literary or fictional reworkings of national narratives, and critical examinations of how myths are constructed, propagated, and used for identity, cohesion, or political legitimacy. Books in this category explore memory, ritual, symbolism, and the boundary between fact and story, offering readers cultural context, analysis of myth-making processes, and varied perspectives on the ways collective narratives shape and reflect a nation’s self-image.
