´A poetic, erudite exploration of history and myth´ Financial Times
An unforgettаble journey through centuries and across cultures to the pivotal moment in evolution - when humans did something that no species had yet tried - when we became the hunter and no longer the prey. Informed by Greek and Egyptian myth, the stories of poets, shamans and gods, Roberto Calasso´s expansive exploration of our relationship to animals and sacrifice, encourages us to reframe our understanding of our place in history, and in the world.
´Calasso has created a much discussed original genre for these books ... a dense pastiche of myth, biography, criticism, philosophy, history and minutiae ... woven together by Calasso´s unflagging vision´ The New Yorker
