    An expanded edition of the classic on creativity by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes guides you through the dark labryinths of the psyche in search of la chispa - the ember that is the elemental source of all creative work. Dr. Estes teaches about the hidden aspects of creativity, including the negative complexes that prey upon creative energy.

    Story

    I didn't find this helpful at all. I was looking for inspiration and motivation, but it was a lot of ancient stories as allegories to what can go wrong in the creative process. No solutions. If you're into ancient myths it might be for you.

    Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire....

    Any additional comments?

    I read this when I was 14, and every summer after that into my twenties, but it's been a long time. It's still such a great romance, with outstanding characters, and you learn a lot of history. It definitely isn't politically correct, but gives a view of how many Southerners saw things at the time of the Civil War and reconstruction. Some of it made me cringe. But a great story about strong women. Rhett Butler is such an interesting character. I understood him much better this time than I ever did when I was younger.
    The narration is fantastic. Linda Stephens does wonders with all the different voices and accents. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
