Alain Gheerbrant Knihy
Alain Gheerbrant bol francúzsky spisovateľ a dobrodruh, ktorého dielo sa často zameriava na prieskum a symboliku. Jeho expedícia v povodí Amazonky a Orinoka mu umožnila nadviazať pokojný kontakt s pôvodnými obyvateľmi a preniknúť do hlbín neskúmanej krajiny. Prostredníctvom svojich písaných diel a filmov skúmal mýty, folklór a symbolické významy naprieč kultúrami. Jeho encyklopedické dielo o symboloch sa stalo kľúčovým zdrojom pre pochopenie univerzálnych ľudských archetypov.

A story covering the exploitation of the Amazon basin, from the 19th century rubber barons to today.
This remarkable and wide-ranging book is an inventory of symbols and the symbolic imagination. The editors and their fifteen contributors are drawn from a variety of scholarly backgrounds-including anthropology, ethnology, psychotherapy and art history. This diversity of approach is responsible for the book's unique character, a reflection of the multiplicity of symbols and signs and the phenomenal range of possible interpretations they offer. This book draws together folklore, literary and artistic sources, and focuses on the symbolic dimension of every colour, number, sound, gesture, expression or character trait that has benefited from symbolic interpretation. The conscious and unconscious minds are explored, desire and dreams are treated alongside the known and the chronicled. Extraordinary in its range and eclecticism, this dictionary was originally published in French as the Dictionnaire des Symboles, and it is regarded as the standard work on the subject

Tutte le civiltà, dall'antica Mesopotamia all'Estremo Oriente, dal mondo classico al medioevo cristiano, dalle culture tribali dell'Africa e dell'Oceania ai popoli dell'America precolombiana, si sono nutrite di simboli. E simboli antichissimi riaffiorano nelle metafore quotidiane e nei nostri sogni. In questo doppio dizionario vengono presentate 1600 voci, compilate da un gruppo internazionale di ricercatori, con ricerche sulla storia delle religioni, sulla mitologia, sulla psicologia e sull'antropologia per fornirci un elenco di simboli il più completo possibile.
