Which books are contenders for the best masterwork on origin story?

The 'Star Wars' saga, especially the prequel trilogy, can be seen as a masterwork for origin story. It shows the origin of Darth Vader, the political unrest in the galaxy, and the rise of the Sith. It gives a backstory to the original trilogy, filling in the gaps and expanding the 'Star Wars' universe in terms of its origin.

I think 'The Book of Genesis' from the Bible can be considered as a best masterwork on origin story. It details the creation of the world, the first humans - Adam and Eve, and the origin of sin. It has had a profound impact on religious beliefs, moral values, and cultural traditions in the Judeo - Christian world. It not only tells a story of the origin of everything but also provides a framework for understanding the relationship between God and humanity, and the nature of good and evil.

Well, 'Genesis' from the Bible can be regarded as a significant masterwork on origin story. It details the creation of the world, the first humans, and the origin of sin. It has had a profound impact on Western culture and religious beliefs.

One could argue that 'The Lord of the Rings' is a great masterwork for an origin story. It delves deep into the creation of Middle - earth, the races within it like elves, dwarves, and men, and the origin of the great evil Sauron. Tolkien's detailed world - building gives a rich origin to the entire saga.

Definitely 'My Year of Rest and Relaxation' by Ottessa Moshfegh. It's a darkly humorous and introspective look at a young woman's decision to basically hibernate for a year. It's a unique take on modern life and mental health.

Well, 'The Silmarillion' by J.R.R. Tolkien is often considered a masterwork for origin story in literature. It tells the ancient history of Middle - earth, including the creation of the universe, the Valar, and the first elves. It's a complex and detailed account that sets the foundation for Tolkien's other works.

The masterwork origin story could refer to many things. It might be about the origin of a great piece of art. For example, the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo. Its origin story involves the commission by the Pope, Michelangelo's own genius and his painstaking work over a long period, often working in difficult conditions high above the floor.

I think 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series (and the 'Game of Thrones' TV adaptation to an extent) is a great modern example. It has a complex origin story for the different kingdoms, the houses, and the overarching threat of the Others. It weaves together multiple storylines to show how the world got to the state it is in when the main story begins.

Some well - known contenders might be the 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling. It has a richly imagined magical world, complex characters, and an engaging plot that has captured the hearts of children and adults alike all over the world.

For me, 'Crime and Punishment' stands out with its intense plot and character study. 'The Idiot' is also a great one as it challenges our ideas of normalcy and goodness. 'The Brothers Karamazov' is not to be overlooked either, given its vast scope in exploring human nature, relationships, and beliefs.
