Author Description

A systematic and fascinating comparison of the themes that underlie the art, worship, and literature of the Western world.I consider this, as his other books, of outstanding importance and scholarship, clarity and depth. I believe that anyone truly interested in the science of man...will find these books a wealth of data, penetratingly analyzed and written in such a way that he has the chance of digesting them in his own manner. —Erich FrommCover design by Neil Stuart.Cover illustration: from a fifteenth-century antiphonary in the Museo Opera del Duomo, Florence, Italy.
