class details
Liana Wertman, founder of the Torah Studio and fantasy novel enthusiast, has recently decided that Torah is the best fantasy story of all time. Why? Great fantasy immerses us in impossible worlds, infuses us with power, and helps us to confront societies most difficult ideas. And Torah, which offers us our core story from which we get to learn and grown, does all of this and more. Because maybe the supernatural relationships with the divine, the heroes making complex decisions, and the explorations the most violent aspects of human society are not there to upset us but are chances for us to learn something really important.
Source sheet line up includes: Ursula K Le Guin, Brandon Sanderson, Moshe MiSinai, N.K. Jemison, Ken Liu, Robert Alter, and more!
