With an uncommon geniality and good humor, bestselling author Jean Shinoda Bolen demonstrates how mythology can illuminate psychology. In this study, the respected Jungian analyst transcends the personal sphere to focus on the family and patriarchal society. Using Richard Wagner’s four-opera cycle The Ring of Nibelung as a framework, the author investigates the psychological origins and destructive capacity of authoritarian institutions. Each of the four central chapters of the book examines one of Wagner’s operas, which the author links to a particular Jungian archetype. In doing so, the book reveals profound truths about humanity, human relations, and society that can be highly transformative. In concluding, Shinoda Bolen outlines a possible post-patriarchal society and how each individual can help in forming it by living a life centered on authenticity.

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica Con una amenidad fuera de lo común, Jean Shinoda Bolen nos muestra cómo los mitos iluminan la psicología. En esta obra, la reconocida analista junguiana trasciende el ámbito individual y se centra tanto en la familia como la sociedad patriarcal. A partir del ciclo de cuatro óperas El Anillo del Nibelungo, de Richard Wagner, la doctora Bolen indaga en los orígenes psicológicos y en la capacidad destructiva de las instituciones autoritarias. Cada uno de los cuatro capítulos centrales del libro gira en torno a una de las óperas de Wagner, que la autora relaciona con un arquetipo psicológico de Jung. De este modo, El anillo del poder nos descubre una verdad profunda sobre nosotros, nuestras relaciones y la sociedad que puede resultar altamente transformadora. Finalmente, Jean Shinoda Bolen esboza el lienzo de una posible sociedad postpatriarcal y la forma cómo cada uno de nosotros puede contribuir a construirla llevando una vida centrada en la autenticidad. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
