[…] Lavishly illustrated, his book contains an original synthesis of the latest developments in fields as diverse as anthropology, archeology, paleontology, ethnography, history, philology, neuroscience, physics and performance studies. ¬ródła teatru is an unprecedented venture in contemporary academic literature.
