DESCRIPTION
Cosmos and History A landmark work in the history of religions from a pioneer in the field
"Harper Torchbooks paperback edition published under the title Cosmos and history, New York, 1959"--Copyright page.
First published in English in 1954, this founding work in the historical study of religions secured the North American reputation of the Romanian émigré-scholar Mircea Eliade. Referring to an astonishing number of cultures and drawing on scholarship in no fewer than half a dozen European languages, The Myth of the Eternal Return illuminates the religious beliefs and rituals of a wide variety of ancient cultures and argues that understanding them still has the power to enrich our conception of what it means to be human.
