AsinSacrifice: Its Nature and Functions
Original titleEssay sur la nature et la fonction du sacrificie
A synthesis of and elaboration on various anthropological perspectives of religious sacrifice. Mauss, as the sort of scion of classical anthropology, writes well with Hubert, but most of this book could have just been left out and the conclusion could've been published alone as an essay.
