Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London, 1964. Ix, 165 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Previous owner's name present to the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. An all-too-brief but still enthralling exploration of the sacred and the profane as shown though the medium of the sacrifice, "Sacrifice" gives the reader, through its erudite and gentle manner, a view of the role sacrifice plays in human societies. Tammuz, Dionysus, Soma, Christ, the Greek ritual of Bouphria: all are explored with grace and depth. Essential reading for those interested in the subject. E-130; 8vo 8"-9" tall.
A classic, if one wants to read abut sacrifice. The English translation was long in coming from its original French publication, and it was well needed. It is interesting not only for those interested in anthropology but also for those whose studies encompass religion and history.
