The Creators
''The Creators'' is a non-fiction work of cultural history by Daniel Boorstin published in 1992 and is the second volume in what has become known as the ''Knowledge Trilogy''. It was preceded by ''The Discoverers'' and succeeded by ''The Seekers''.
==Contents==
The Creators, subtitled ''A History of Heroes of the Imagination'', is the story of mankind's creativity. It highlights great works of art, music and literature but it is more than a recitation or list. It is a book of ideas and the people behind those ideas. It encompasses architecture, music, literature, painting, sculpture, the performing arts, theater, religious expression and philosophy. It can be viewed as a companion to The Discoverers which chronicled the history of invention, exploration and technology. The Creators traces the creative process from pre-history Egypt to modern times and like The Discoverers, follows both a topical and chronological structure. Boorstin writes in "A Personal Note to the Reader", "After ''The Discoverers''... "I was more than ever convinced that the pursuit of knowledge is only one path to human fulfillment. This companion book, also a view from the literate West, is a saga of Heroes of the Imagination. While ''The Discoverers'' told of the conquest of illusions - the illusion of knowledge - this will be a story of vision (and illusions) newly created..." If ''The Discoverers'' is the story of the inventive human mind then ''The Creators'' is the story of the searching soul. The work is in twelve major parts that have been grouped into four ''books''.
