Een Amerikaanse dichteres, psychoanalytica en specialist in post-trauma, ze groeide op te midden van mondelinge en etnische tradities die nu bijna verdwenen zijn. Als eerste generatie Amerikaan uit een plattelandsdorp van 600 inwoners nabij de Grote Meren, is haar erfgoed een rijke tapijt van Mexicaans mestizo, Hongaarse en Zwabische wortels. Afkomstig uit families van immigranten en vluchtelingen die vaak analfabeet waren of moeite hadden met lezen en schrijven, put haar werk diep uit de beroepen van haar voorouders. Deze invloeden manifesteren zich in haar schrijven, en weerspiegelen het leven van boeren, herders en ambachtslieden uit het verleden van haar familie in het Oude Land.







NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than 2.7 million copies sold! • “A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women.”—The Washington Post Book World Book club pick for Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society’s attempt to “civilize” us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
A collection of stories, poems, prayers, and commentaries that demonstrates the influence of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the lives of people around the world.
A heartwarming story, perfect for the holidays, is beautifully rendered by the noted storyteller and Jungian analyst who brought readers Women Who Run with the Wolves. Original.

Nelle fiabe si trovano idee sagge e imperiture che hanno resistito nel tempo. Queste storie, intessute d'argento, attraggono gli esseri umani fin dai tempi antichi, rivelando un fatto essenziale: l'anima, pur inciampando nel suo cammino, ritroverà sempre il suo fulcro ardente e il suo sentiero di liberazione. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, con questa antologia affettuosa, offre un regalo alle sue lettrici italiane, rivelando verità nascoste dietro le immagini familiari delle fiabe. Dopo il successo di "Donne che corrono coi lupi", l'autrice esplora i personaggi mitologici e fiabeschi, dai dèi greci agli eroi delle favole moderne, fino agli animali fantastici e agli innamorati immortali. Ci guida attraverso una storia dell'immaginazione, svelando gli aspetti della nostra psiche che si celano dietro questi soggetti leggendari. I miti, nati nella notte dei tempi, raccontano i desideri più profondi di uomini e donne, quelli dell'anima, offrendo così una riflessione profonda sulla nostra esistenza e sul nostro viaggio interiore.
Príncipes o plebeyos, los protagonistas de estos relatos, tras vencer muchas pruebas y desdichas, culminarán sus empresas, alcanzarán la felicidad. Y es que el final feliz pertenece a la esencia de los llamados cuentos de hadas, esas narraciones que buscan la savia nutricia en el substrato de lo prodigioso y hacen abrirse en el campo de nuestra razón la flor de la fantasía. Actuando como sortilegios, las palabras anudadas de los párrafos nos permitirán conocer el lenguaje de los animales, el espíritu que anima los objetos. Y las páginas encantadas de los Cuentos de los hermanos Grimm nos prestarán las alas con las que viajaremos al encuentro de nuestra inocencia perdida.
