Synopsis
Excerpt from The Calcutta Journal of Medicine, Vol. 27: May 1908
In the introduction the author writes that there has pro bably never been a time when the attention of the public has been more generally directed toward the care of the health than the present. This we think is not quite true. Human being since the dawn of intelligence proper has been always careful to the attainment of long life and the avoidance of disease which the flesh is heir to. Ample record of this is found in the ancient literature of India. In these days of trumpet ing through newspapers and magazines we may think that there has probably never been a time when the attention of the public has been more generally directed toward the care of the health than the present. Silent work was the order of the days gone by, and experience of sages of different ages were recorded for the benefit of mankind. But noise is the order of the day we live in and pushing-forwardness and self advertisement have been ruining the cause of humanity. In our vain attempt to further the progress of the world we have been creating mischief which has been positively undermining the health of all nations. The so many preserved and chemical food prepared more for the sordid gain of money than for the benefit of mankind, has been doing immense mischief in the world.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book explores how snakes have been represented in English language literature from Chaucer through the present day. Examining how cultural perceptions of snakes have changed over time, the author traces the evolution of metaphorical associations through literary history. The book traces how snakes have represented everything from evil to sexuality and explores the ways authors have used snakes to convey their perspectives on pressing issues of their time. The author discusses the literary, historical, and socio-cultural context of these representations, providing insights into the role of language, literature, and metaphor in shaping our understanding of this iconic animal. The book reveals the many layers of meaning that different snake representations offer and deepens our understanding of the metaphorical power of snakes in literature and beyond.
