Viac o knihe

A marvel of scholarly & pictorial art--Detroit NewsThis wonderful book is a revelation--Dame Edith Sitwell Here, in all their wonder & splendor, are the mythologies of humankind--from pre-biblical Egypt & pre-Homeric Greece to the furthest reaches of Africa, the Orient, the Pacific & the Americas--all gathered into one mammoth volume of unprecedented scope & beauty, & illustrated with an incomparable assemblage of authentic paintings, sculpture, symbols, idols, ritual & sacrificial objects, many rarely seen by modern Western eyes. This monumental work is the 1st complete encyclopedia of world mythology. Originally published in France by the famous house of Larousse, it contains of course all the well-loved myths of Classical Antiquity. But more than half the book is devoted to the strange & unfamiliar mythologies of civilizations other than our own--from Peru to Persia, from Tahiti to Togoland.
