The book combines two works by Marie-Louise von Franz, who dedicated a significant part of her life to the psychological interpretation of fairy tales and myths - 'Animus and Anima in Fairy Tales' and 'The Cat. A Fairy Tale of Feminine Rebirth'. In these works, she explores central concepts of Jungian analysis, such as 'animus' and 'anima' - unconscious structures that manifest as the feminine principle in the psyche of a man and the masculine principle in the psyche of a woman. The psychological interpretation of various folk tales formed the basis of the study of these concepts. In particular, in the work 'The Cat. A Fairy Tale of Feminine Rebirth', she discusses the symbolism of images from a Romanian fairy tale about an enchanted princess-cat, revealing important themes of liberation of the feminine principle and the union of opposites. These works were based on lectures given by Marie-Louise von Franz at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich in the 1950s, of which she was a co-founder. The book is of interest to teachers and students of psychological and other humanities faculties, as well as to a wide range of readers.
