The answer is A: uncovering hidden truths about life.
Every great writer in history has managed to make use of words written on a dead page to uncover a higher meaning for life and for living. Even though they rely on their genius to explore events, descriptions, and characters, weaving them into a narrative, it is, most remarkably, their ability to speak of something concrete and particular that, nonetheless, refers to universal traits, what reveals something new: the singularity of life´s potential, its power to be recreated and retold in a meaningful manner.
