An eye-opening, thought enticing saga, pre-dating the stars, the galaxy and existence as we've known it rest within the provocative contents of Deranged: Volume one. Infinite darkness surrounds an awake alert child. Hearing only his breath, echoing over the ebony of perpetual blackness covering sight and movement. Sitting and pondering where to move, where to look. This awake, child murmurs the word - "Light." The sludge of infinite shadows vanishes; the blinding white of this grand light cuts and rips the vast darkness away. Revealing this alert, childlike creature is not alone...Read the rest, you have the book...

This 1913 book forms part of a three-volume work dealing with rectangular matrices and determinoids as distinguished from square matrices and determinants. The first volume contains the most fundamental portions of the theory and concludes with the solution of any system of linear algebraic equations.

This newly translated volume of the Collected Works of Marie-Louise von Franz, one of the most renowned authorities on fairytales, presents a systematic and wide-ranging approach. Von Franz amplifies a variety of fairytale motifs to show that the magical realm is alien to the profane and mundane realm of ordinary daily life. She was one of Analytical Psychology’s most original thinkers and here she presents a lucid, concise exploration of the archetypal symbols found in fairytales. Fairytales, like myths, provide a cultural and societal backdrop that helps the human imagination narrate the meaning of life’s events. The remarkable similarities in fairytale motifs across different lands and cultures inspired many scholars to search for the original homeland of fairytales. While peregrinations of fairytale motifs occur, the common root of fairytales is more archetypal than geographic. A striking feature of fairytales is that a sense of space, time, and causality is absent. This situates them in a magical realm, a land of the soul, where the most interesting things happen in the center of places like Heaven, mountains, lakes, and wells. At the age of eighteen, Marie-Louise von Franz was invited to meet Carl Gustav Jung at Bolingen Tower. She immediately recognized that there exist two levels of reality, one outer and the other inner. Within months she had enrolled at the University of Zürich and began attending Jung’s lectures at the E.T.H. (Eidgenösiche Technische Hochshule or the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Less than a decade after meeting Jung, von Franz had completed her doctorate in classical philology and begun seeing her first analysands. She was a prolific writer, a dedicated teacher and lecturer, and was possessed of a “far-reaching and often non discriminating Eros that accepted everyone seeking help.” (Alfred Ribi, MD in Fountain of the Love of Wisdom, Chiron, 2006)
