The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays on particular symbols with representative images from around the world and every period of history. Easily readable text and nearly 800 beautiful, full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the approximately 350 essays examines the psychic background of a given symbol and how it evokes processes and dynamics in the psyche. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which various cultures have understood a symbolic image—all these factors are taken into consideration.
