"This work makes available an original example of native Manchu folk literature, a shaman tale that, while widely known in Northeast Asia, has never before been translated into a Western European language. In addition to the translation of the story itself, an interpretation of the tale is provided that clarifies many features of Manchu shamanism and shamanist belief in general." Publications on Asia of the Institute for Comparative and Foreign Area Studies 31. Octavo: x, 182 p. Original lavender cloth binding, with purple titles. The dust jacket is price-clipped, with sun fading along the spine and some mild edgewear; otherwise very good.
