A Blue Fire

By: James Hillman

Narrated by: James Hillman

James Hillman's A Blue Fire burns through the entire range of his life's work in this lecture. Recorded during a seminar weekend in Rowe, Massachusetts, this talk is a conflagration of ideas. The result is Hillman revisions himself, his work, and archetypal psychology.

Admirable masterpiece.

I am a latecomer when it comes to James Hillman, and I keep reading more daily.

Like a box of chocalates Hillman delights

Anyone who is not aware of James Hillman's clear and crisp rendering of the psychology of Carl Jung will be delighted by these excerpts from his writings. As Hillman gets older his insights grow more powerful and inspiring. I reread this book several times and found more of Carl Jung's ideas illuminated by his famous disciple.

Hillman is always worthwhile.

Some of the discussions went on too long. I would like to have heard more from Hillman and less of the general discussions.

James Hillman Lectures

The very same lectures can be found online if you prefer. Quality of sound is not great but perfectly audible, Hillman cuts right through, the lectures are brilliant definitely worth listening to many times.

Your next intellectual influence

This book is different from the hard copy of it. This is actual audio of James Hillman rain by from his work and discussing it. This was actually my first exposure to Hillman, and I don't know why it took me so long to hear about him. I am so stimulated by his unique perspective and expression. He's one of those thinkers whose words and ideas can be beautiful, as well as immediately change the way that the world looks once he's spoken. I consider this audiobook a true treasure. I immediately bought the Kindle too, and they are both full of notes. The quality varies, and you cannot always hear what the audience says, but it doesn't detract from just how incredible it is to sit in on this experience. I have found that a great book can be ruined by a bad narrator, but Hillman is brilliant as himself. I am so grateful for this inspiring entry into Hillman.
