Керлот Х. Э. Словарь символов. Мифология. Магия. Психоанализ

Translation of an authoritative reference book on European symbols, published in the 60s of the 20th century by the Catalan writer and art critic Juan Eduardo Kerlot.

This publication has no analogues in Russian humanitarian literature. The book provides an opportunity to get acquainted with the widest range of cultural symbols, to discover many subjects and phenomena that have entered the blood and flesh of European culture, but are practically unknown to the Russian reader. In describing symbolic meanings, the dictionary uses all the richness of the Western European intellectual tradition: from Jung, Freud, Bachelard to Frazer and Schneider. Thanks to this, each of the descriptions acquires semantic stereoscopicity and depth. The value of the dictionary goes beyond the scope of a reference book: written in a lively, relaxed language, devoid of scientificism, it is a fascinating read.

The book is in excellent condition, minor wear on the dust jacket, cm .photo.
