Exploring the concept of modernity, the book delves into the enduring liminality of contemporary life by examining the nature of evil through the lens of the 'trickster.' This paradoxical figure, viewed as both an outcast and a cultural hero, serves as a focal point for understanding the complexities of human behavior and societal norms. The anthropological perspective enriches the discussion, offering fresh insights into the interplay between culture and morality.
