Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

In the form of a dialogue among fictional friends, quirky but influential mythologist DumTzil analyzes the famous predictions by the 16th-century French writer as a vehicle to demonstrate his methodology and to explain his rightist past, which did not quite extend to the fascism that many of his colleagues embraced. The original, Le moyne noir en gris dedans Varennes , was published by +ditions Gallimard in 1984. No scholarly paraphernalia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
