Library of Valuable Knowledge: Story of the Alphabet… par Edward Clodd
3/12/22
Early anthropological discussion about "animist" nature religions of primitive tribes. A bit outdated with a fair bit of condescending colonial biases, but interesting none the less. A good work if one is interested in the history of the anthropological study of religion.
An old book, but still a good read. Some of the views, wording, and examples may be old fashioned and unheard of for wording (such as using the words ’savage’ and ‘privatives’ to describe groups of people) in most modern books of an anthropological nature but its still a fair enough book. A nice amount of overview information on the subject.
