Sinossi
Dopo aver riportato alla luce i tesori di saggezza racchiusi nelle fiabe, Marie-Louise von Franz ci offre qui una vera e propria guida all'interpretazione dell'alchimia, che costituisce nello stesso tempo un'introduzione agli scritti maggiori di jung sull'argomento. II lettore entra in contatto con alcuni testi alchimistici greci, arabi e medievali, e impara in concreto a tradurne il ricco materiale esoterico e simbolico nell'esperienza degli uomini moderni, perché le immagini, gli archetipi che occupavano la mente degli alchimisti erano gli stessi che ricorrono nei nostri sogni e nei nostri tentativi di comunicazione tra i sessi. Nel libro è anche contenuto un piccolo mistero filologico: il testo dell'"Aurora consurgens", che è citato quasi per intero, potrebbe comunicarci la visione che sopraffece san Tommaso d'Aquino morente.

Recensioni
This is a fascinating book for those interested in both Jungian psychology and the alchemical traditions. Though the title describes the purpose of this work (a mere introduction to the symbolism of alchemy and how it possibly relates to psychology), my expectations were that it would be a thorough
The late Marie-Louise von Franz (1915 -1998) was a Jungian analyst and colleague/student of Carl Jung. She is widely known for her penetrating treatises about seeker's journey motifs, alchemical texts and fairy tales as well as an accessible biography of Jung. Here again, her insights are profound an Leggi tutto
The individuation process as the alchemical process. Jung rocks, and so does his student, Marie Louise von Franz, who breaks Jung down and makes his work digestible (Thank god! How would I ever have gotten through Jung's work without von Franz and Edinger to explain it all?!?!). Anyone in the field
von Franz' intellect and personality brings light to yet another obscured subject of the past. Her ability to bring us through the most entangled symbolic imagery and thoughts of the acient world by pointing to the analytic associations of modern terapy is indeed a proof of her supreme insights. She Leggi tutto
This is my third time reading this book. I always learn something new. And I love MLVF- her personality and wisdom and wit. A must read for those whose work includes familiarity with the process of individuation.
My review here has me questioning what the purpose of a review is … nonetheless I have put together some of my thoughts. The alchemical texts were significant to Jungian analysts because they provided a rich source of symbolic material for exploring the depths of the human psyche, understanding the Leggi tutto
This book really wasn't for me--I think that it's best for readers to have solid grounding in Jung's writings before trying to take on this set of lectures, because it's far more about Jung than about alchemy. Alchemical symbolism is used as a jumping-off point to dive more deeply into Jung's analyt Leggi tutto
Excellent book by Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz about alchemical symbolism and psychology, which are discussed in detail in Carl Jung's book "Alchemy and Psychology" (I have not read that yet). I found it an excellent introduction to alchemical symbolism and the work of individuation. Von Franz discuss Leggi tutto
