The Book of the Hopi [Buy it!] | Frank Waters | USD 3.00 (Mon May 20 20:52:02 2024) | Abebooks | Library House Internet Sales | ISBN10: 0140045279, ISBN13: 9780140045277, [publisher: Penguin] Softcover The secrets of the Hopi "road of life" revealed for the first time in written form In this strange and wonderful book, thirty elders of the ancient Hopi tribe of Northern Arizona%u2014a people who regard themselves as the first inhabitants of America%u2014freely reveal the Hopi worldview for the first time in written form. The Hopi kept this view a secret for countless centuries, and anthropologists have long struggled to understand it. Now they record their myths and legends, and the meaning of their religious rituals and ceremonies as a gift to future generations. Here is a reassertion of a rhythm of life we have disastrously tried to ignore and instincts we have tragically repressed, and a reminder that we must attune ourselves to the need for inner change if we are to avert a cataclysmic rupture between our minds and hearts. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Solid binding.
