Description
“The Dogon myth not only recounts facts in adventures, rivalries between the gods or the effects of love or hate (love of God wickedness of Evil) – as we have the other religions … But it reflects a serious examination of the same conditions of life and death. Hence its precise biological aspect is certainly the universe as a whole, but also as a living body, ordered functional … It presents a construction of the universe – from that of the star system to that of the smallest grains, through man, microcosmic image of this world. “This first volume of the Pale Fox – Ethnology Dogon – is dedicated to the exhibition of the creation myth. In this book 1 is told the story of the creation of the world by Amma, God accompanies a directory of animals, plants and stars.
