Eliade takes up the problem of shamanism; he succeeds in defining its bounds, so that, for the first time in the history of religions, a clear idea can be formed of what shamanism is and what it is not." - Profeessor M. Leenhardt. "Eliade's works are never limited to a simple description of facts: they always contain a keen analysis followed by a synthesis. The present book has the same qualities. It is clearly the best work on shamanism published so far." - Professor R.A. Stein. "For the English translation of his book, Professor Eliade has freely revised, corrected, and augmented. The work, which is addressed to the nonspecialist reader, is the first to treat shamanism in a comprehensive way." - dust jacket. "xxiii, [1], 610 pages. Index. Extensive list of works cited.
