Editorial Reviews
“Everyone with an interest in epic or, indeed, in narrative or mythology generally should read this book by an internationally respected authority. Taking an innovative comparative approach likely to deeply affect this field of scholarship, it is full of mind-opening insights that will delight the expert and the general reader alike.”
—Ruth Finnegan, Emeritus Professor of Social Sciences, The Open University
“Brenda Beck shows in this book that the oral folk epic Annanmar katai ‘the story of twin brothers’ is not local or vernacular in its reach. It is in essence a story of the emergence of a farming culture superseding a hunting culture. This sets the ground for the comparative study of five other legends from around the world. Relating the local to the global is new in anthropology. The book ends up showing that all humans journeyed through comparable paths and that they have similar ways of telling that story.”
—E. Annamalai, formerly of the Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago
“By setting the Land of the Golden River in conversation with the Mahabharata, the epic of Gilgamesh, the Bible, Icelandic saga, and North American Indigenous legends, Brenda Beck explores how epic narratives address perennial questions at the core of our humanity. In the process, she reveals to the English-speaking world the anthropological, psychological, and symbolic complexity of a hitherto little-known masterpiece of world literature.”
—Jo Ann Cavallo, Professor of Italian, Columbia University
