Gebonden, foto-kartonomslag, 296 pagina's, NL, 240 x 200 x 23 mm; met talrijke foto's / illustraties in kleur / z/w, in zeer goede staat, ISBN 9789058268358. De mannelijke genitalien worden al eeuwen gezien als het symbool van vruchtbaarheid en mannelijkheid. De fallus is daarmee een symbool dat al van in de prehistorie fascineert en vereerd wordt. Het boek neemt de lezer mee op een reis door de tijd en toont hoe de fallus opduikt in de kunst en de cultuur van Egypte tot Cambodja en van India tot Noord-Amerika. Van de peniskokers die de papoea?s in Nieuw Guinea dragen, tot de moderne genitale piercings en tatoeages: versiering van de mannelijke geslachtsdelen is iets van alle tijden en culturen. Net zoals de rituele besnijdenis of het ritueel doen bloeden van de penis. Vaak gaan deze rituelen gepaard met initiatieriten of nemen ze een symbolische plaats in de religie in. Ook castratie komt aan bod. Johan Mattelaer vertelt over castraatzangers en eunuchen die toezicht hielden in de harems maar ook over castratie als medische therapie. Johan Mattelaer is uroloog. Dit boek is het resultaat van jarenlange lectuur en vele reizen. De fallus is een rijkelijk geillustreerd standaardwerk voor iedereen met een brede interesse in kunst en cultuur, religie, symboliek en geschiedenis. 1170 g.…
