Robert H. Hopcke – författare

The writings of C. G. Jung himself are the best place to read about all his main ideas—but where to start, when Jung''s Collected Works run to more than eighteen volumes? Robert H. Hopcke''s guide to Jung''s voluminous writings shows exactly the best place to begin for getting a handle on each of Jung''s key concepts and ideas—from archetypal symbols to analytical psychology to UFOs. Each chapter explains one of Jung''s principal concerns, then directs the reader where to read about it in depth in the Collected Works. Each chapter includes a list of secondary sources to approach for further study—which the author has updated for this edition to include books published in the ten years since the Guided Tour''s first appearance.

This collection of folk tales, legends, and narratives about the life of Francis of Assisi and his followers appeared about seventy-five years after the saint’s death, in the early fourteenth century. The writings have remained popular ever since due to their beauty and charm, and because they are the nearest thing to a biography of Francis that exists. They are the source of many of the most famous stories about Francis—including the accounts of his preaching to the birds and of his receiving of the stigmata—and they are based on stories that circulated about him in the years after his death.Robert Hopcke and Paul Schwartz provide the first truly new translation of the Fioretti in forty years, and in doing so they bring the spiritual classic up to date, using contemporary language to show Francis to be a living, breathing human being who walked the streets of Assisi in a state of spiritual, physical, and social enlightenment, through his own existence making Christ real in the world.The translators have also edited the work to present the stories that most powerfully present Francis’s spirit and teaching.
