Summary:
The best of the
American
Indian
myths
are works of art, blending form and content into an organic whole that interweaves the great themes of human experience. John Bierhorst's brilliant selection of sixty-four
tales
- each significant and interesting in itself - present a comprehensive view of a world that will be both familiar and vastly different for "Western" readers. Over forty cultures, including Navajo, Aztec, Iroquois, and Eskimo, are represented. In addition, John Bierhorst's introduction offers a framework for interpretation according to Freud, Jung, Frazer, and Levi-Strauss, plus an analysis of mythic narrative as a key to reading traditional literature. The
Red
Swan
is valuable both for its scope and for the superb quality of the stories themselves.
