Abstract
Gilbert Durand, disciple de Bachelard, souhaitait en concevant cet ouvrage compléter "anthropologiquement" les recherches inaugurées par l'auteur de "la psychanalyse du feu". Son livre est devenu la référence de tous les travaux sur les mythes : une sorte de "jardin" des images, ordonné comme la botanique de Linné, un merveilleux répertoire organisé autour des grands schémas structuraux.
