Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Revised Edition. Very Good condition with some speckling, evidence of handling on page Edges, otherwise clean, clear text in a tightly bound book, with a Near Fine DJ. There is another concept of "why bad things happen" that probably predates the theory that…there is one centralized source of evil. This is, to use a computer anology, a peer-to-peer theory of evil. The evil eye is a widespread belief that unlucky events can ensue if you attract the attention of particular people. These people, sometimes involuntarily, sometimes voluntarily, can cast a malignant spell on others simply by looking at them. This lavishly illustrated work is the classic study of this superstition. Starting with a mass of anecdotes from contemporary observations in Italy and rural England, Elworthy, using all of his skills as a folklorist and etymologist, delves deeper. He gives examples of the belief on a world-wide basis and far back in time, to classical paganism and beyond. He also elaborates all of the methods that have been used to ward off the jettatura, including talismans, spells, spitting, hand gestures and many others.
