First published in 1920, The Burial of the Dead emerged from the
idea that the primitive man did not imagine graves as receptacles
for the dead, but refuges for the living. The book is an
anthropological and a philosophical quest to understand when and
how the custom of burial came about within primitive society. The
book does not limit itself to the customs and traditions of burial,
but also engages with the concepts of death, life, and afterlife as
conceived by the primitive man. In doing so, the author traces a
continuity between the strength of beliefs in a primitive society
and in a modern one, as well as the development of those beliefs
into universal principles. This book will be of interest to anyone
trying to unravel the mystery of death and especially to students
of anthropology, history, philosophy and religion.
