Inhaltsangabe:
An elegant reissue of a timeless collection of Haida myths, with a new preface by Claude Levi-Strauss.
Ten masterful, complex drawings by Bill Reid are accompanied by ten episodes from Haida mythology told by Bill Reid and Robert Bringhurst. The result brings Haida art and mythology alive as never before in an English-speaking world. The collection includes, says Reid, "a good selection of bestiality, adultery, violence, thievery and assault, for those who like that sort of thing."
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Robert Bringhurst is a distinguished Canadian poet whom Margaret Atwood has referred to as a "polylingual polymath." His work draws on Native American myths and storytelling as well as training in philosophy, comparative literature, and linguistics. Among his many publications, including original poetry and prose, as well as translations, are Nine Visits to the Mythworld (University of Nebraska Press, 2000), The Black Canoe: Bill Reid and the Spirit of Haida Gwaii (University of Washington Press and Douglas & McIntyre, 1991), The Raven Steals the Light, with Bill Reid (Douglas & McIntyre, 1984), and Translating Haida Poetry: An Interview with Robert Bringhurst, with Thérèse Rigaud (Douglas & McIntyre, 2002).
