L'Odyssée du sacré
Out of stock
Since its emergence, Homo sapiens has felt awe and admiration for Nature and questioned its existence. This sense of the sacred gave rise to all the world's major spiritual and religious movements. Why is it the only animal that seeks to give meaning to its life, practices funeral rituals, and invents great collective narratives?
Frédéric Lenoir attempts to answer these questions and, in this journey through time, shows the correlation between the great spiritual revolutions and the upheavals of human societies, from sedentarization to the connected world, via the birth of cities, civilizations, empires, and modernity. This book, the fruit of more than thirty years of research, tells us the prodigious story of Homo spiritus.
Depuis son apparition, Homo sapiens ressent effroi et admiration devant la Nature et s’interroge sur son existence. De ce sentiment du sacré sont nés tous les grands courants spirituels et religieux du monde. Pourquoi est-il le seul animal qui cherche à donner du sens à sa vie, pratique des rituels funéraires et invente de grands récits collectifs ?
Frédéric Lenoir tente de répondre à ces questions et montre, au fil de ce voyage dans le temps, la corrélation entre les grandes révolutions spirituelles et les bouleversements des sociétés humaines, de la sédentarisation au monde connecté en passant par la naissance des cités, des civilisations, des empires et de la modernité. Ce livre, fruit de plus de trente années de recherches, nous raconte la prodigieuse histoire d’Homo spiritus.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
