Intr-o epoca in care imaginatia este revalorificata ca resort al descoperirilor si progresului, dictionarul coordonat de Jean Chevalier si Alain Gheerbrant ilustreaza varietatea cheilor de interpretare – oficiale si subversive, analitice si emotionale, spirituale si sexuale – oferite in diferite culturi simbolurilor fundamentale ale omenirii. Cu informatii din cele mai diverse domenii, de la teologie si astrologie la psihanaliza sau publicitate, si avind la baza surse folclorice, literare si artistice, cele peste 1.200 de articole dezvaluie o multitudine de sensuri ale limbajului simbolic si invita cititorul la reflectie si la descifrarea a numeroase alte enigme.
