Alain Gheerbrant Boeken
Alain Gheerbrant was een Franse schrijver en ontdekkingsreiziger wiens werk zich vaak verdiept in de sferen van ontdekking en symboliek. Zijn expedities in de Amazone- en Orinoco-rivierbekkens stelden hem in staat vreedzaam contact te leggen met inheemse volkeren en onontdekte gebieden te doorkruisen. Via zijn geschriften en films verkende hij mythen, folklore en symbolische betekenissen in diverse culturen. Zijn baanbrekende woordenboek van symbolen werd een essentiële bron voor het begrijpen van universele menselijke archetypen.

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
