About This Item
Professor Eliade follows the ritualistic adventures of the ancient societies who discovered the ability to change matter from one state to another, a change which brought about a profound shift in spiritual behaviour. This new edition contains a previously unpublished appendix. In summary, another excellent book by a respected interpreter of the meaning and history of religious thinking.
Paperback. In very good condition. Pages are clean, bright and unmarked. Cover is intact with just normal minor wear mostly to the corners, and the top of the spine.238pp
