New York: Basic Books, Inc, 1974. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, toning/foxing to endpapers, text clean, binding tight/DJ G: age soil/toning, NOT clipped, stain/discoloration to rear cover.. 8vo 262pp. Edited and with an introduction by Werner Muensterberger. from front flap: "Geza Roheim was the first psychoanalyst to test widely held psychoanalytic concepts against his own original anthropological fieldwork. [. . .] Now, fifty years after the completion of Roheim's research and twenty years after his death, Dr. Werner Muensterberger has put the finishing touches on a nearly completed manuscript and introduced this vintage ethnography into the Roheim literature. This research reflects a native culture that is relatively more untouched than that found by subsequent researchers. Since 1925, modern Australian institutions have made inroads into the aborigines' lives, but Roheim describes a culture still rich in its original symbolism and fantasy life. In a most vivid and human manner, Geza Roheim touches on the central issues of a society lost to current investigation." #02386.
