Alchemical Mercury

This book is based on a candidate dissertation defended at the Center for Psychoanalytic Research of Essex University. I recall my first council of observers. Professor Andrew Samuels asked: "... and your dissertation implies dragons?" After I admitted that this is true, he replied: That"s good, I like dragons. Its unique and complex “tricster -like” personality served as a kind of role model in relation to the better understanding of the topic of my dissertation. I am also in debt to Matt Fitch, another representative of the Council, for bringing some brightness to my work. However, the greatest gratitude is expressed by Roderic Maine, thanks to which my unpredictable project had a chance for first place. He not only helped to return the “spirit back to the bottle” many times, but also delicately and inventively directed the transformation inside the "academic bottle", which significantly expanded my idea of ​​Mercury, and this task is not easy!
