Mircea Eliade
4.10/5 (633 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
An informative guide to the modern mythologies. This classic study, translated from the original French, deals primarily with societies around the world in which myth is--or was until very recently--"living," in the sense that it supplies models for human behavior &, by that very fact, gives meaning & value to life. The author believes that understanding the structure & function of myths in these traditional societies serves to clarify a stage in the history of human thought: "myths reveal that the world, man & life have a supernatural origin & history, & that this history is significant, precious & exemplary."
