## Description

The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols (Dictionary, Penguin) : Gheerbrant, Alain, Chevalier, Jean, Buchanan-Brown, John: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Just go for it - Such a beautiful explanation to everything mentioned in it.
Review: Best dictionary of 'Symbols' in its price range - The given infirmation on each entry is sufficient and covers from different aspects. So, anyone would get a wide-ranging but detail idea of an entry. The entries are exhaustive too. The only issue I find that there is no supporting image for those entries. Especially in a dictionary of symbols, it is very essential for a complete idea of each entry. Still being an older edition with no such revisions, this dictionary is the exact one, I was looking for. Its comparatively far cheaper than its counterparts & serves my need fully.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***N on 30 July 2025*

An indispensable volume. While it shares the inherent 'boring' quality of any dictionary, its exceptional accessibility and unwavering trustworthiness make it a true treasure. This is a must-have for any philologist, general intellectual, or indeed, any dedicated seeker of knowledge. It's the kind of resource Umberto Eco would likely have pored over and appreciated immensely. Given its unparalleled utility and depth, a clear five-star rating.
