Samenvatting
Considers the cultural power of magic, from early Christianity and the ancient Mediterranean to the film career of Buffalo Bill, focusing on topics such as Surrealism, France in the classical age, alchemy, and American fundamentalism. This book ranges from theory to practice, from demonology to exoticism, and from the magic of memory to stage.
