Dalla quarta di copertina

AN A TO Z GUIDE TO THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS PAR EXCELLENCE...

"Given Eliade's incredible drive and his command of languages, one can wonder if any other human mind has ever encompassed as many facts about religion as his did. When we join to this his will to communicate that earned for him his first reputation, that of a novelist, we have the makings for this Guide, which stands as the appropriate valedictory from one of our century's foremost scholars. It is at once a reference work to be returned to repeatedly, and a book that can be read from cover to cover as a record of the human venture in its essential religiousness."
HUSTON SMITH, author of 'The World's Religions'
