The Masks of God

Meer over het boek

An exploration of Eastern mythology as it developed into the distinctive religions of Egypt, India, China, and Japan. It is impossible to read this startling and entertaining book without an enlarged sense of total human possibility and an increased receptivity - 'open-endedness' as Thomas Mann called it - to the still living past. - Robert Gorham Davis Cover design by Neil Stuart.
