Baltų raštai ir ženklai

Latvių autoriaus Valdžio Celmo knygoje baltų ornamento pasaulis netelpa vien etnologijos, mitologijos, archeologijos ir kitų mokslų rėmuose. Pabrėžiamos ornamento archajiškumo, mitologiškumo ir drauge inspiratyvumo savybės. V. Celmo knyga apima ne tik latvių, bet ir platesnį, visų baltų kultūros arealą, ornamento duomenis, pateikia nemažai informacijos ir apie lietuvių ornamentus, interpretuoja jų simboliką.

Hipotetiškai atskleidžiamos baltų ornamento sąsajos, apmąstoma jo genezė, kilmė.
Knyga skirta itin plačiai skaitytojų auditorijai – ne tik etninės kultūros puoselėtojams, mokslininkams, menininkams, bet ir visiems besidomintiems daile ir kultūra.

While the source text (Latvian) is most probably worth better rating, in this case I rate what I`ve read, namely, the translation into Lithuanian. A book as expensive as this one should not boast typos, at the very least... And I have certain doubts concerning the translation itself, as well. I suppose those interested in Baltic symbols and Latvian folk art should read the book in Latvian.
I would have rated the book (the translation into LT, I do repeat!) even lower but for the numerous beautiful illustrations.

Comfortably organized book about traditional Baltic ornaments, signs, their possible meanings and etc. Recommend for everybody who does some crafts which need the ornamentation. It will help to choose it not just because of aesthetic but meaningful reasons.
