Seller's Description:
Fine in Good jacket. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. BOOK: Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Previous Owner Markings (Price Clipped); Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: All races without exception have possessed a mythology. To trace the outline of the world's mythology is to trace also the pattern of man's development. There has been no age, no civilisation that has not probed the mysteries of life and sought to explain them by the graphic means of myth. The preoccupying questions have remained constant-how was the world created, what forces govern man's life, and how best can he make them favourable to him? The answers have been as varied as the societies that have produced them, ranging from the primitive to the near-sophisticated. In a book of generous proportions, Pierre Grimal's twenty-three authors survey the myths of the world's principal societies with perception. They analyse the form with function of myth, note its variations and evolution, and examine recurrent themes. They range from the dark, cave-bound rites of prehistoric man, through the system of Egyptian gods, the monotheistic patterns of the ancient near east, the Indian pantheon, and the gods and heroes of classical Greece and Rome. In less commonly charted areas they survey the polytheistic cults of northern Europe, the nature spirits of the American Indians, the sacrificial cults of Central America, totemism in Africa, and ancestor and fetish worship in Oceania. In a brilliant preface to this kaleidoscopic display of man's efforts to explain his world, Pierre Grimal proposes that myths form a vital element of all thought, even in an advanced society. Any attempt to know them better is to surrender to the very legitimate pleasure of reading and re-reading a collection of very fine stories and to probe deeper into human consciousness. The book is of unparalleled interest and unrivalled breadth, sensitively written and imaginatively illustrated with more than 600 black-and-white and colour photographs. A delight for the browser, a feast for the fact-finder.
