The Book of Symbols combina ensayos originales e incisivos en torno a símbolos particulares con imágenes representativas de todo el mundo y todas las épocas de la historia. Textos fácilmente legibles y casi 800 bellas imágenes a todo color confluyen de un modo único para transmitir dimensiones de significado ocultas. Cada uno de los alrededor de 350 ensayos examina el trasfondo psíquico de un símbolo determinado y cómo evoca procesos y dinámicas en la psique. Raíces etimológicas, el juego de los contrarios, la paradoja y la sombra, las maneras en las cuales diversas culturas han entendido una imagen simbólica: todos estos factores son tomados en consideración.
Escritos por autores de los ámbitos de la psicología, la religión, el arte, la literatura y la mitología comparada, los ensayos fluyen los unos en los otros en modos que reflejan las convergencias inesperadas de la psique. No hay definiciones sencillas del tipo que tiende a derrumbar un símbolo; un símbolo todavía vivo permanece parcialmente desconocido, atrae nuestra atención y despliega nuevos significados y manifestaciones a lo largo del tiempo. Más que simplemente categorizar, The Book of Symbols ilumina, de cómo ir de la experiencia visual de una imagen simbólica, en el arte, la religión, la vida o los sueños, a experimentar directamente su resonancia personal y psicológica.
The Book of Symbols establece nuevos estándares para la exploración a conciencia de los símbolos y sus significados e interesará a un amplio espectro de lectores: artistas, diseñadores, soñadores e intérpretes de sueños, psicoterapeutas, autoayudantes, jugadores, lectores de cómics, buscadores religiosos y espirituales, escritores, estudiantes y a cualquiera intrigado por el poder de las imágenes arquetípicas.

The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The compelling texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol's psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics.

Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche's unexpected convergences.
