Title: The universal key to symbolism
Product review: Furthering the steps of Joseph Campbell, deeper than J. P. Vernant, less poetic but more rigorous than Mircea Eliad, not as structurally biased as C. Levy Strauss, more versatile than Freud's Totem and Taboo, Paul Diel's work supplies an analysis which applies to any religious story or any myth at any period in time in any geographical region. This is a book for a lifetime. Confronting Paul Diel's enlightments with Rene Girard's analysis offers a path for anyone interested in getting wiser. Hard to read but more than worth deciphering.
