Dictionary of Symbolism: Culture Icons and the Meanings Behind Them
ISBN? - 9781853263910General Subject/s? - English / Language / Symbolism / HistoryTitle? - A breakdown of different common symbols and their meanings.General Analysis? - Obviously there are countless symbols that could be included in a book like this, but the selection in here is wide-ranging and several suggestions are given for the meaning of each thing.Recommend? Yes, a great little reference book.
Non credo si possano dare le "stelle" a una Garzantina, o, almeno, questa è una mia convinzione, "superstizione" forse?: è un testo specifico, rivolto a chi è appassionato, interessato a quell'argomento... è come un libro di testo... a me piacciono Le Garzantine, le trovo accurate e ben fatte, immediate, di semplice fruizione, riassuntive senza essere superficiali e approssimative. Prevedono una base di partenza, ovviamente, ma, certo, chi se le compra, come ho fatto io, è perché vuole
as reference, used often
An enriching and entertaining reference book for anyone who has wondered what the cultural significances and symbolic meanings of animals, plants, colors, numbers, places, things.
Information rich, but picture poor, which is kind of a bummer in a book about symbols. I can't seem to find a great definitive book on symbolism; I use three books concurrently when I am doing research. But this one is the backbone.
