The History of Death
Sinopsis
Death may be universal, but just as every culture
has found ways of living differently, they have
also found different - and sometimes
extraordinary- ways to deal with dying and the
effect it has on those left behind. This
wide-ranging book examines the compelling
subject of death and burial in various cultures,
societies, and ages. It considers the rituals
surrounding death, including the drama of
medieval French royal funerals the live burials
of the Dinka people in Sudan facing death with a
5000-strong terra-cotta army, as Chinese emperor
Shihuangdi did in 260 BC and the
elaborate mausolea of wealthy Victorians.
Covering all periods of history and religions,
The History of Death also examines the differing
approaches to funerals, whether solemn,
celebratory, druken, or even sexually
promiscuous. It illuminates the interconnection
between the earthly and the spiritual in funeral
rites the practices of human sacrifice and ritual
killing the process of grieving, burial,
cremation, and remembrance and the many
differing notions of life after death. However,
far from being a morbid investigation, The
History of Death balances grim facts with
intriguing details drawn from many places and
epochs. An intelligent and sensitive study, The
History of Death includes more than 100
remarkable photographs and artworks of
representations of death and funeral rites.
