Reviews
A fascinating account of a strange god with meme-like reach across the ages, and a study in the temporal shapeshifting of mythology itself., Robichaud opens the doors to this both mystical and magical figure who has pervaded our history and literature. Starting with Pan's origins in ancient Arcadia we're taken through a labyrinthine journey through time, and sometimes space, to gain insight into Pan's influence . . . Robichaud creates not only the most extensive account of one of mythology's most elusive characters, but also creates a history emboldened with a charm and style that will captivate and engage any reader., It is this long history of variation in both what he is and what he represents that Robichaud's recent book Pan: The Great God's Modern Return explores. By examining how the god has been understood and represented down through history, Robichaud presents a multifaceted and remarkably changeable portrait of a deity whose history is filled with mysteries, tricks, and turnings as represented in the wealth of stories, songs, and images in which he has appeared. . . . Very interesting--as well as enlightening., This is simply the most wide-ranging and up-to-date exploration of the impact of Pan on the Western imagination yet written., Probably the most thorough overview of the Arcadian goat-footed deity ever written. The book traces the history of Pan from his ancient past to his contemporary depictions. . . You'll leave with a greater understanding of this vast, complex, and often paradoxical and contradictory deity throughout time., The multiple identities and reincarnations of Pan are eloquently examined by Robichaud in this fascinating book. Every age has its own version of Pan that echoes his Greek origins. . . . This book is probably the most extensive study of Pan attempted. And it's very well written. Robichaud is not only an academic but a published poet and it shows in the elegance of his sentences--sensitive and careful attention is given to the shades of meaning attached to Pan. . . . And it's not just the words but the images that captivate. The book has a generous number of color illustrations. . . . If you are looking for a pleasurable source book on everything about Pan then Robinchaud's is it. An important and self-recommending study. I loved it., If you are interested in Pan in any way, from his presence in literature or art to his magical presence in myth and vision, and the myriad ways that his shape flits throughout human history, be it on the edges or in our midst, then Pan: The Great God's Modern Return is simply a must-purchase. It is, without doubt, the most wide-ranging treatment of the goat-foot god I've ever read, combining thorough attention to detail and research, yet at the same time highly accessible to a general reader. . . . This book is a tremendous achievement and deserves a treasured place on the bookshelf of anyone who hearkens to the call of Pan., We get the pleasure of seeing this goat-like god pop up everywhere from classic children's literature to romantic novels to early environmentalist tracts. . . . The result is a tour de force.

Synopsis
Pan - he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. 'Panic' is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how he has been imagined in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality and popular culture through the centuries. At times, Pan is a dangerous, destabilizing force; at others, a source of fertility and renewal. Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for occult practitioners and New Age mystics. Though ancient sources announced his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence and countless others. Pan: The Great God's Modern Return traces his intoxicating dance., From ancient myth to contemporary art and literature, a beguiling look at the many incarnations of the mischievous--and culturally immortal--god Pan, now in paperback. Pan--he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. From classical myth to modern literature, film, and music, the god Pan has long fascinated and terrified the western imagination. "Panic" is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Still, the ways in which Pan has been imagined have varied wildly--fitting for a god whose very name the ancients confused with the Greek word meaning "all." Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how Pan has been imagined in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality, and popular culture through the centuries. At times, Pan is a dangerous, destabilizing force; sometimes, a source of fertility and renewal. His portrayals reveal shifting anxieties about our own animal impulses and our relationship to nature. Always the outsider, he has been the god of choice for gay writers, occult practitioners, and New Age mystics. And although ancient sources announced his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence, and countless others. Pan: The Great God's Modern Return traces his intoxicating dance.

- o***l (310)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- i***y (710)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter Kauf2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- r***_ (107)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter Kauf*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
