THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

by John Strong Newberry ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 15, 1934

In the tradition of Frazer's GOLDEN BOUGH this book deals with primitive cults and mythology and the striving toward religion of primitive races. From the Stone Age to the Age of Pericles -- China, India, Mesopotamia, Judea, Egypt, Greece, he traces the evolution of religion from the mists of taboo, finding here and there the roots of myths that flourished in later civilizations. For anyone interested in ethnological subjects, in the spiritual progress of mankind, in the place of the supernatural in civilization's dawn. Not for wide popular distribution.
