This book seeks to explain - in reference to the notion of metamorphosis - the puzzling contradictory attributes of fairy-tale figures that have discouraged the study of meanings in this field and proposes that the workings of metamorphosis in fairy tales reveal a pervasive cyclic ontology that underlies mythology and ritual. The issue of universal symbolism is again examined - divested from any archetypal generalizations - as a subject of worthy reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Dundes, Francisco Vaz Da Silva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820458082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820458083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Carolyn Dundes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46383872803071,"sku":"9780820458083","price":42.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_988c5b86-f57a-461b-8b20-36e116883557.jpg?v=1733281926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metamorphosis-carolyn-dundes-9780820458083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
