Notes: "The extent of imagination and longing experienced by various cultures in their search for the ways and means making it possible to determine the place and destiny of man in the world and to foresee the future has no time or space limits: craving for a safe anchorage has been common to the paleolithic hunter hundreds of thousands year before, as well as the postmodern man of the globalized world of the 21st century. The book offers an anthropological perspective on these issues within the framework of various cultures and civilizations from the paleolithic to the present day accompanied by original verses and works of art created for this volume by thirty foremost Czech painters and sculptors."--from English summary
