'A poetic, erudite exploration of history and myth' Financial Times
An unforgettable journey through centuries and across cultures to
the pivotal moment in evolution - when humans did something that no
species had yet tried - when we became the hunter and no longer the
prey. Informed by Greek and Egyptian myth, the stories of poets,
shamans and gods, Roberto Calasso's expansive exploration of our
relationship to animals and sacrifice, encourages us to reframe our
understanding of our place in history, and in the world. 'Calasso
has created a much discussed original genre for these books ... a
dense pastiche of myth, biography, criticism, philosophy, history
and minutiae ... woven together by Calasso's unflagging vision' The
New Yorker
