Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

    Hi, delighted to find this book available via your site. The image used and the item description on the webpage indicates it is the 1979 John Hopkins edition with that striking black white and red cover. Before buying I’d like you to confirm it IS this edition. As it is the only one I’m looking for. Thanks. Alistair
