The book by the outstanding Swiss psychologist and thinker Marie-Louise von Franz, "Archetypal Symbols in Fairy Tales", which she worked on for eight years, was published in the 1950s under the name of another person, Hedwig von Beuth. The Jungian Psychology Foundation in Küsnacht achieved recognition of von Franz's authorship and published three volumes of research under the name of the real author. And only now is this work being published in Russian for the first time as part of a collection of works.
In this work, Marie-Louise von Franz turns to the fairy tales of many peoples, often including Russian folk tales. She is the founder of a new direction in the study of folklore using the achievements of analytical psychology.
The work "Archetypal Symbols in Fairy Tales" offered to the attention of readers is published in the first three volumes of the collected works: "Ordinary and Magical Worlds", "The Hero's Journey" and "The Test of the Maiden". The first volume, “The Everyday and Magical Worlds,” is dedicated to the motif of a fairy-tale hero/heroine’s journey from the everyday world to the magical world, where the magical world symbolizes the experience of descent into the unconscious.
The book is addressed to both specialists in the field of psychoanalysis, psychology, cultural studies, and a wide range of readers interested in folk art.
