Explores themes of the stallion and mare and cow as they are used throughout the Indo-European zone, including Irish stories and Indian texts. Sometime the exposition feels confused, but I suspect it is because the texts are so varied. And I am not sufficiently acquainted with them. This book will require a re-read.

"An important, provocative and original work, of great interest to Indian scholars, historians of religions, psychologists and historians of ideas, but accessible also to the cultivated reader. Even if one does not always agree with the author's interpretation, one cannot but admire her vast and precise learning, her splendid translations and exegesis of so many, and so different, Sanskrit texts, and her uninhibited, brilliant, and witty prose."--Mircea Eliade, University of Chicago "This is . . . a book which is as rich in detail as the carvings of the great Hindu temples. It shares with them a delight in the interplay of myth and mundane experience, and above all an empathy with the Hindu preoccupation with the meaning of human existence in all its complexity."--G. M. Carstairs, Times Literary Supplement No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
