Críticas:

"At times, "Ecstacies" can be demanding. . . . But persist, and you will be rewarded with truly haunting stories and speculations."--Michael Dirda "Barnesandnoblereview.com " "Ginzburg's learning is prodigious and his journey through two thousand years of Eurasian folkore a tour de force."--Keith Thomas "The Observer " ""Ecstasies" manages, with extraordinary candor, clarity, grace, and erudition, to steer between lurid sensationalism and dry-as-dust academic drivel, and between purely localized historiography and universalism. This is a big, bold, brilliant book."--Wendy Doniger "New York Times Book Review " "At times, Ecstacies can be demanding. . . .

Reseña del editor:

Weaving early accounts of witchcraft—trial records, ecclesiastical tracts, folklore, and popular iconography—into new and startling patterns, Carlo Ginzburg presents in Ecstasies compelling evidence of a hidden shamanistic culture that flourished across Europe and in England for thousands of years.
