Synopsis
"More comparable to Levi-Strauss's "Tristes Tropiques" than any other work of anthropology I know; but, in fact, the book I was most reminded of was not an anthropological work at all, but E. M. Forster's "A Passage to India." . . a complex world complexly perceived and brilliantly recorded. . . . It is really a wonderful book."--Wendy Doniger, author of "The Origins of Evil in Hindu Mythology"

Review
"This fine book . . . gives us a unique account of pilgrimage from the perspective of householders and their point of origin and return. In addition, Gold throughout provides lively translations and skillful analyses of oral texts, particularly women's songs and Nath "bhajans, allowing diverse categories of persons to be heard in their own voices."--Anthony T. Carter, "American Anthropologist

First Edition. Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, viii + 333pp, index, bibliography, glossary, spine of dustjacket sunned, prior owner's name front free endpapers, otherwise a very good copy. "Unlike most other works on Hindu pilgrimage, Fruitful Journeys begins where the pilgrimmage itself begins: at home, with an examination of local shrines and deities, of local worship and its motivating values among those who also journey to distant temples and riverbanks. Thus pilgrims's special aims and experiences are placed in the setting of their ordinary lives. Highlighted as particularly salient to pilgrims's concerns are several different responses to human mortality found in Rajasthani village traditions.". Seller Inventory # 176816
