A General Theory of Magic
By:Marcel Mauss
Published on 2001 by Psychology Press
First written by Marcel Mauss and Henri Humbert in 1902, A General Theory of Magic gained a wide new readership when republished by Mauss in 1950. As a study of magic in 'primitive' societies and its survival today in our thoughts and social actions, it represents what Claude Lévi-Strauss called, in an introduction to that edition, the astonishing modernity of the mind of one of the century's greatest thinkers. The book offers a fascinating snapshot of magic throughout various cultures as well as deep sociological and religious insights still very much relevant today. At a period when art, magic and science appear to be crossing paths once again, A General Theory of Magic presents itself as a classic for our times.

Colm Tóibín, that award-winning creator of This Excel atand Brooklyn, spins their recognition in the confusing friendships in between daddies and even sons—exclusively the particular trepidation concerned with the literary the big boys Oscar Wilde, David Joyce, W.B. Yeats, along with their particular fathers. Wilde loathed his dad, despite the fact established that they were quite definitely alike. Joyce's gregarious biological father owned his particular child right from Ireland in europe thanks to your boyfriend's volatile mood and also drinking. Although Yeats's daddy, a new electrician, was basically apparently a marvelous conversationalist who is yak seemed to be significantly more slick as opposed to the artwork he produced. These types of popular blokes and the daddies exactly who given a hand to shape them all happen in inside Tóibín's retelling, as do Dublin's splendid inhabitants.
