A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Otto Rank (1884-1939) was a successful and well-respected Austrian psychologist who was part of Sigmund Freud’s inner circle for twenty years until his later break with Freud. He moved to Paris in 1926 where he became a psychotherapist for such artists as Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin, who mentions Rank often in her memoirs. Rank has had a wide influence on many pioneers in the field of psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, spiritual studies, mythology, and organizational development. Azafran Books was established with a clear aim in mind – to make available a selection of classic books for today’s contemporary readers. The books in our catalogue have been selected from a broad range of themes; such as philosophy (occidental & oriental), mysticism & magic, new thought, religion & spirituality, folktales, mythology, cult fiction, poetry, social commentary, and psychology. Yet they all have a common theme, or purpose – to stimulate our thinking and modes of perception. For this reason, they have been chosen to be re-published and re-presented to the modern reader. Azafran Books have been re-edited, formatted, and presented with new design work – they are NOT scanned copies with original errors. Our books have been carefully re-published to the highest of standards – by a team of dedicated real people – not an algorithm! Our aim at Azafran Books is to bring a range of stimulating books, many of them largely forgotten, to the attention of the reader today. In other words, to bring you ‘Classic Books for a Contemporary World.’
