This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Myths of Many Lands Nearly every country has its myths, and most of them are Nature Myths. They represent the explanations of the phenomena of nature by primi tive pe0p1e. The primitive mind, like the mind of a child, endows all natural objects with life, and, to a certain degree, with the feelings and moral responsibilities of human beings. Hence, natural phenomena which are beyond the comprehension of men are regarded as mysteries due to powers either residing in them or ruling over them similar to human powers, though greater, and controlled by motives like those of men. In these attempts to explain nature is the origin of Nature Myths. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myth-Land Our subject naturally divides itself into two very obvious sections - the one dealing with wholly untrue and impossible creatures of the fancy, the other with the strange beliefs and fancies that have clustered round the real creatures we see around us. It will readily be discovered that we have confined ourselves in the present volume almost entirely to the first of these sections. Should our present labours prove acceptable they may readily be followed by a companion volume, at least as entertaining, dealing with the second section of our subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, Vol. 2 The poor man, in an access both of alarm and courage, whirled the bar about his head and shouted Scat The uncanny guards of the treasure dis appeared instanter, and at the same moment the digger found himself up to his middle in icy water that had poured into the hole as he spoke. The moral is that you should never talk when you are hunting for treasure. Wet, scared, and disheart ened, the man crawled out and made homeward, carrying with him, as proof of his adventure, a case of influenza and the iron bar. The latter trophy he fashioned into a latch, in which shape it still does service on one of the doors of Ipswich.

Download or read book Myths of Northern Lands written by H. A. Guerber and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths of Northern Lands: Narrated With Special Reference to Literature and Art As Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, Icelanders, Germans, English, and French all came originally from the same stock and worshiped the same gods, so these tales formed the basis not only of their i religious belief, but also of their first attempts at poetry. They are the classics of the North, and deserve as much attention at our hands as the more graceful and idyllic mythology of the South. The most distinctive traits Of the Northern mythology are a peculiar grim humor which is found in the religion Of no other race, and a dark thread of tragedy which runs throughout the whole woof. These two characteristics, touching both extremes of the scale, have colored Northern thought, and have left their indelible imprint upon all our writings even to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Folks' Library: Selection From the Choicest Literature of All Lands Legends are like the vines and tendrils that grow up about a tree. These sometimes hide its strength and cause its death, but they also lend to it a great and varied charm of color and outline. So Legends some times take the place of the real facts of history, but usually only add to them some touch of pathos or ten der human interest. To - day trained judgment has pruned away many old Legends from the great trunk of history. In this cleansing process, however, we have learned that Legends, like Myths, have their uses; that they are often symbols of deep truths that were once known to all, but in tme became changed into new shapes, often through ignorance and bad passions of the heart and mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders Has been an incentive to continue the work in the same field, and herewith is offered a volume of tra dition from Canada and Mexico, thus covering the North American continent. A need of brevity has made it advisable to keep to the method fol lowed in Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, of assembling traditions that attach to places, rather than attempting to set forth the almost exhaustless, always verbose, and sometimes childish folk-lore of the aborigines. Simple people, red people, and habitants, not readers, not logicians, not examiners, accept these tales from their old men and treasure them. Others may find amusement in them, and perhaps profit; for, ingenuous as they are, they. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
