Mythologie Des Ostens. Die Masken Gottes 2 by Joseph Campbell
A wide-ranging comparative study of the religious stories and symbols of Asia, tracing how myths from the Near East through India, China and Japan express human experience and spiritual aspiration; it examines recurring motifs—creation, hero, death and rebirth—and shows how geography, history and social change shaped distinct mythic solutions, from the outward, nature-centered rites of early peoples to the inward, contemplative visions of Indian and East Asian traditions, while arguing that myths function as culturally shaped masks for encountering the sacred.
