Excerpt from The Origins of Religion, and Other EssaysWith regard to the essay on Apollo and the Mouse, it is to be remembered that animals acquire sacredness in religion in many ways besides what they may inherit from totemism. The works of Mr. J. G. Frazer show that, among agricultural peoples, the Corn Spirit is recognised in a vast number of animal forms, which are prominent in agricultural magic and religion. Thus a sacred animal associated with a god, say the Pig with Demeter, is not necessarily a survival. Of a totem. That the indo-european peoples were once totemic cannot be certainly proved, though many facts point in that direction. When we first meet them in history they have reached a point in civilisation at which we could not expect to discover more than faint and dubious totemic traces.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Cock Lane and Common-Sense This book deals with topics which it seems difficult to discuss in a spirit of fairness and right reason. While engaged on the essays, the author has gleaned the remonstrances of a few philosophers and friends. One of these thinkers (a rural dean) points out that human evidence is very untrustworthy, that he himself has been described as wearing the kilt, whereas he wears the trews; as editor of the Monk's vad'e-mecum, a paper which he never saw; as constant in his devotion to a large green umbrella, his umbrella, in fact, being blue, and so forth.1.

The World's Desire

"Perchance he woke, and perchance he slept . . . " His family dead, his country in ashes, the greatest hero of the ancient world collapses at the gates of the Temple of Aphrodite, where he gains a vision of the World's Desire: Helen, herself -- a friend of his youth, and the enduring love of his life. Learning she still lives, Odysseus takes over the Black Ship of the Sidonians, armed only with sword and bow . . . and with a hunger in his heart that will drive him onto his final battlefield. A collaboration between 19th-century literary giants Andrew Lang (1844-1912)and H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925), this 1890 novel is a tale of adventure, mystery, and undying love.

History

HardPress Limited

The Olive Fairy Book includes unusual stories from Turkey, India, Denmark, Armenia, the Sudan, and the pen of Anatole France. But all of the stories are told in the common language of the fairy tale, and their heroes — the Green Knight who is saved by a soup made from nine snakes, the lovely Dorani who flies every night to fairyland, the king who understands the language of the animals — will be welcome to children and grown-ups alike. All in all, this collection contains 29 stories, all narrated in clear lively prose. Not only are Lang's collections generally considered to contain the best English versions of the standard stories; they are the richest and widest in range. "Admirable series of photographic reprints of the first editions. Altogether very good value." — New York Review of Books.
