Gathas: The Hidden Power of Zoroastrian Metaphors

In this book, Dr. Abreu, through a detailed analysis of the essence of the Zoroastorian philosophy (the Gathas), encourages the reader to revisit key concepts of Zoroastrianism which has been the basis, but miss-represented. This analysis is carried out through exploring the very format in which the Gathas have been disseminated: metaphors and poetry. By exhibiting the power of metaphors used in the Gathas, providing them a timeless and yet age-relevant message, culture-less and yet universal, Dr. Abreu, demonstrates that Zarathustra s progressive approach to life, divinity and societal activity is an alternative in which human activity can be organized and conducted.
