佛洛姆版《夢的解析》夢是超越時空的共通語言，神話、童話與儀式則是通往心靈的窗口。最具洞察力的社會心理學家佛洛姆，告訴我們：人如何在夢中看見最真實的自我人每晚都會做夢：死去的人復活、人可以任意穿越時空……這些在睡夢中出現的超現實場景，在清醒時往往被我們視為毫無意義、轉瞬即逝的影像。心理學大師佛洛姆主張：夢並非毫無意義，而是一種以「被遺忘的語言」所表達的重要訊息。這種「被遺忘的語言」就是「象徵語言」：以感官體驗與外在事件來表達人的感受與思想，其邏輯不受時間與空間的支配，以情感強度與意象聯想為核心。無論古希臘人的神話，還是今日紐約人的夢境，都用象徵語言來表達。對古代人而言，不懂得詮釋神話與夢境，形同文盲。然而現代人已遺忘這門語言――不是在睡著做夢時，而是在清醒時。佛洛姆在本書回顧佛洛伊德與榮格的釋夢理論，並提出更完整觀點。他認為夢既揭露人的非理性欲望，也展現人在清醒時難以企及的智慧。透過豐富實例，從個人夢境到伊底帕斯神話、小紅帽童話、卡夫卡的小說《審判》，佛洛姆指出，這些故事竟與我們的夢境擁有相同的語法與象徵，因此也能用理解夢的方式來閱讀與詮釋。正如《塔木德》所說：「未經理解的夢就像一封未打開的信件。」讀這本書，就像打開一扇通往人類集體心靈的門，讓我們重新看見：夢境並非毫無意義的影像，而是潛藏著文化記憶、個人心聲與生命智慧的訊息。本書特色夢是什麼？對於這個問題，不同的心理學家有不同的答案。佛洛依德說：「夢是被壓抑欲望的實現。」榮格說：「夢是集體無意識的象徵。」而佛洛姆身為心理學家與精神分析師，同樣經常以「釋夢」來治療患者。在他看來：「夢是心理活動的有意義表現，我們能運用象徵語言讀懂人的內心世界。」在《被遺忘的語言》中，佛洛姆不僅提出許多臨床案例，說明精神分析師如何運用象徵語言的原理為患者釋夢，更將這套方法擴展到更廣的領域。他指出，神話、童話、卡夫卡的小說等文學作品，都能像釋夢一樣來理解――透過象徵語言，我們能讀懂這些作品背後真正反映的內心世界。

In this volume, first published in 1963, Cambridge lecturer R. G. Popperwell provides a fascinating and highly accessible guide to the correct pronunciation of Norwegian. In a text rich with examples and useful explanations, Popperwell introduces the reader to the intricacies of the Norwegian spoken in both Oslo specifically, and eastern Norway in general. Following an introductory chapter which looks at the organs of speech and their constitution, Popperwell talks the reader through the pronunciation of Norwegian vowels and diphthongs before furnishing them with the knowledge required to turn an understanding of written Norwegian into a successful cognition of the way the language is spoken. Popperwell writes on the syllabic qualities of the language, the stresses most regularly used and the rhythmic qualities of spoken Norwegian. This book is both thorough and engaging, and will be of great use to any student of the Norwegian language.
