About the Authors
  • El mago, figura legendaria de poderes sobrehumanos, es uno de los principales arquetipos del mito y la religión de muchas culturas. Tras fijar sus orígines antropológicos en antiguos rituales llevados a cabo por un chamán o un brujo para asegurar la prosperidad de su tribu, E. M. Butler analiza su posterior desarrollo en los filósofos religiosos y místicos precristianos, en los hechiceros y alquimistas medievales y, finalmente, en el renacimiento esotérico de los siglos XVIII y XIX. De Zoroastro a Salomón, de Merlín a Fausto, de Cagliostro a Rasputín, este fascinante estudio explora las leyendas del Mago y analiza, allí donde es posible, sus conexiones históricas. 'Lectura deliciosa y muy instructiva.' Bertrand Russell 'Erudito, original y ameno'. The Times Literary Supplement 'Este libro está lleno de valiosas historias y de un rico e interesante material. Constituye una excelente lectura.' Washington Post
