Shadow and evil in fairy tales. Franz M.-L. Background

Tales, it would seem, are nothing more than naive stories intended for children. However, a deep meaning is hidden in them, and, plunging into this depth, we can extract a very valuable lesson. In this book, Maria-Louise von Franz, the famous student and follower of Karl Gustav Jung, reveals some important ideas, hidden in fairy-tale plots collected from a variety of parts of the world, sharing with the reader his vast knowledge of folklore material, rich in psychoanalysis and memories of Yunge.

The book will undoubtedly be interesting not only for students, teachers and practicing psychologists and psychotherapists, but also for a wide range of readers.
