The Eternal Ones of the Dream - Geza Roheim - Bog

The Eternal Ones of the Dream is a book written by Geza Roheim and first published in 1945. It is a psychoanalytic interpretation of Australian myth and ritual, exploring the cultural beliefs and practices of the indigenous people of Australia. Roheim, a Hungarian-born psychoanalyst and anthropologist, spent many years studying the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and their traditional stories and customs. In this book, he delves into the symbolic meanings behind these myths and rituals, using psychoanalytic theory to uncover the unconscious desires and fears that underlie them. Roheim argues that the stories and practices of the Aboriginal people reflect their deepest psychological needs and struggles, and that they offer insights into the human psyche that are relevant to all cultures. The Eternal Ones of the Dream is a seminal work in the field of psychoanalytic anthropology, and is still widely read and studied today.With illustrations and one map.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
