Pan : the great god's modern return
Paul Robichaud (Author)
"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 Pan 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."--Back cover
