SynopsisThis is a remarkable dictionary, exploring the vast and various symbols which abound in literature, religion, national identity and are found at the very heart of our dreams and sub-conscious. Compiled by an international team of experts, each entry is given its complete range of interpretations - sexual and spiritual, official and subversive, cultural and religious - to bring meaning and insight to the symbol., 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 benefitted 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.

Nice reference.
A great book to have at your fingertips, whether you're a writer, a game designer (I'm thinking of RPGs specifically, either computer games or table top), or you just want to casually look up the historical, deeper meaning behind something. This book is thick and dense. The only knock I have is there are NO illustrations, which you would think helpful in a book about symbols. For that reason, I'm giving it only 4 stars instead of five.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
