Pan and the Nightmare [Paperback]

James Hillman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2007

This brilliant book brings Pan back to life by following C.G. Jung's famous saying that the gods have become our diseases. Chapters on nightmare panic, masturbation, rape and nympholepsy, instinct and synchronicity, and Pan's female lovers (Echo, Syrinx, Selene, and the Muses) show the goat-god at work and play in the dark drives and creative passions of our lives. Includes a full translation of Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher's masterful nineteenth-century treatise "Ephialtes."

This review is from: Pan and the Nightmare (Paperback)

THIS BEST-SELLING BOOK IS LISTED AS BEING ONLY AVAILABLE FROM THIRD-PARTY SELLERS. THIS IS INCORRECT. THIS BOOK IS ON OUR ACTIVE BOOK LIST AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT ITS CORRECT PRICE OF $20 FROM AMAZON DIRECTLY. WE ARE LOOSING BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THIS MISTAKE!
