Trickster and the Paranormal (set of 2 books)

For thousands of years, people have talked about paranormal and supernatural phenomena. Such phenomena (for example, the miracles of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad) have contributed to the most significant cultural transformations in history. The paranormal is a very mysterious fact. But it makes sense if one thinks about the trickster—an archaic character from the myths and folklore of the entire world. The trickster manages paradoxes and the irrational, but his messages are hidden. This book examines theories about the trickster from anthropology, folklore, sociology, semiotics, and literary studies, analyzes psychic phenomena and UFOs, and explains why they pose such a problem for science.
