  • Great dictionary of symbols

    This is maybe the most detailed dictionary of symbols. I use it in my scientific work, when I analyse literary works with symbolic motifs, but it is also interesting for much broader audience. This paperback edition is easily portable if you travel with your books. That's why I bought the English edition.
