reviewed Human Spirits: A Cultural Account of Trance in Mayotte on September 01, 2018
Human Spirits
This one actually took way longer than expected. Usually have about three or four 'irons in the fire' and am an enthusiastic follower of languages. For no other reason except that both English and Latin are used to describe Roman Astrology- um yes please!
Overall there was a great excerpt about how a man can lose all notice and awareness of shame and being shamed. It was beautiful. To be honest, any book that is written well enough you feel as though some one reaches through time and grabs you by the shirt collar and says 'look at this.'
To sum up you must adapt to skipping ea. & every turned page to read the English, but it's not a hinderance. By any means necessary I would recommend this book. Thank you GP Gookd for a masterful translation, and truly invaluable information to not only my but future generations of young young enthusiasts.
