The uses of enchantment , the meaning... / Bettelheim, Bruno

[Arcadia]

"The uses of enchantment, the meaning and importance of Fairy Tales"

a 1977 book. I just started.

yes - it's a book i used a while ago and it came up again in my studies of storytelling 3 years ago. It's a good book but there are some others that i preferred (more feminine versions interpreting enchantment - i'll have to check the names)

enjoy it, arcadia.

thanks judih!. I read till now only the introduction "the fight for meaning" and it sounds at the same time very freudian and very logoterapic. It's also a part of the bibliography of a course I made this year.
And sure I'll love to hear about the other books!.
saludos,
