Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. A fun read. Less of an academic history of the subject than like a grandfather telling you interesting stories. Freedom from academic restrictions allows the author to make speculations and symbolic connections that one otherwise would not have considered. In this sense, it reminded me of Freud's *The Future of an Illusion*. Recommended if you are interested in the history of ideas (pagan origins of Christmas celebrations, Zwaarte Piet, etc.) Makes me want to re-read Joseph Campbell too.

Yes, there is a Santa Claus -- and this provocative book will tell you who he really is! Travel back in time to view Santa's pagan origins -- and his fascinating connections to the Horned Shaman, the Greek God Pan, the Norse god Wodan, and Robin Hood. Learn how we are influenced by this ancient myth everyday. Based on ten years of extensive research. No library descriptions found. |
