5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book to read,
By eitan bachmat (Beer Sheva, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gardens of Adonis (Paperback)
Detienne's book is a wonderfull and thought provoking book.he presents a structuralist analysis of the myth of Adonis. It is very hard to provide convincing structuralist interpretations to myths and it seems that in structuralism the journey is at least as important as the end result (see most of the work of Levi Strauss). However, in this case Detienne's analysis is rather compeling and provides the reader with amazing insights into greek thought about food, perfumes, sex and all the other good things in life. If you wish to read just one structuralist work to get a feeling for this fascinating and highly non trivial mode of analysis of human thought, I would recommend this book |
