<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The foundational work on shamanism now available as a Princeton Classics paperback</b> <p/><i>Shamanism</i> is an essential work on the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. The founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Mircea Eliade surveys the tradition through two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia--where shamanism was first observed--to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the shaman--at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, <i>Shamanism</i> remains the reference book of choice for those interested in this practice.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mircea Eliade</b> (1907-1986) was the Sewell L. Avery Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago.
