Synopsis "Golden ass of Apuleius: The Liberation of the Feminine in man (c. G. Jung Foundation Books Series) "

"Today there is much discussion of the liberation of women, " writes Marie-Louise von Franz, "but it is sometimes overlooked that this can only succeed if there is a change in men as well. Just as women have to overcome the patriarchal tyrant in their own souls, men have to liberate and differentiate their inner femininity. Only then will a better relationship of the sexes be possible." It is this timely theme that Dr. von Franz explores in her psychological study of a classic work of the second century, The Golden Assby Apuleius of Madaura. The novel recounts the adventures of a young Roman who is transformed into an ass and eventually finds spiritual renewal through initiation into the Isis mysteries. With its many tales within a tale (including the celebrated story of Psyche and Eros), the text as interpreted by Dr. von Franz is a rich source of insights, anecdotes, and scholarly amplification.

Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) was a Swiss psychologist and scholar, known for her psychological interpretations of fairy tales and alchemical manuscripts. She closely collaborated with Carl Gustav Jung from 1934 until his death in 1961, particularly in studies related to alchemy. She earned her PhD in philology at the University of Zurich and later served as an analyst and lecturer at the C. G. Jung Institute in the same city

Among her most notable works are "The Interpretation of Fairy Tales" (1970), "Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology" (1980), and "The Problem of the Puer Aeternus" (1981). Additionally, she co-wrote "The Legend of the Grail" (1960) with Emma Jung. These publications, in the field of analytical psychology, explore themes such as archetypes, alchemy, and mythology.
