Alain Gheerbrant Libros
Alain Gheerbrant fue un escritor y explorador francés cuya obra profundiza frecuentemente en los reinos del descubrimiento y el simbolismo. Sus expediciones en las cuencas de los ríos Amazonas y Orinoco le permitieron establecer contacto pacífico con pueblos indígenas y atravesar territorios inexplorados. A través de sus escritos y películas, exploró los mitos, el folclore y los significados simbólicos presentes en diversas culturas. Su obra seminal sobre símbolos se convirtió en un recurso vital para comprender los arquetipos humanos universales.

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
