Persona is a popular series of Japanese role-playing games. The main characters are usually teenagers, high school students, who face supernatural threats, and in battles they are helped by "Personas" - incarnations of the characters' personalities, taking the form of demons, gods or ancient heroes. The common themes running through all the games in the series are the inner struggle, the spiritual life of man and the search for self.
This is a book that explores the Persona series in detail and opens it up to you from a new perspective. Authors Remy Lopez and Clemence Posti will discuss the development of all parts of the series, examine its canonical universe and analyze its sources of inspiration, hidden meanings and major themes, as well as its music and characters.

- what myths from religions and folklore of different nations of the world were inspired by the creators;
- how the franchise has evolved and changed over the course of its existence;
