Synopses & Reviews
Fifty years after his death, Carl Jung's revolutionary theories still attract and fascinate readers, as shown by the bestselling success of the recently published illuminated volume The Red Book. This critically acclaimed biography does full justice to his lasting contributions to psychology and philosophy, his tumultuous relationship with Freud, and his wide-ranging spiritual explorations. Showcasing superb artwork reflecting Jung's teachings, including works by Georges Rouault, René Magritte, and Paul Klee, as well as works by Jung himself and art from indigenous cultures and the ancient world, Claire Dunne explores the journey of a healer who honed his skills by attending to the wounds in his own soul.
