Born in 1875, C. G. Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and
innovative thinker whose most influential ideas include the concept
of psychological archetypes, the collective unconscious, and
synchronicity. He is the author of numerous works, including
Memories, Dreams, Reflections and Man and His Symbols. He died in
1961.

"This is a volume that will be treasured by the confirmed Jungian
or by admirers of beautifully made books or by those with a taste
for philosophical allegory."
*Michael Dirda - The Washington Post*
"For Christmas I'd like Carl Jung's The Red Book."
*Talitha Stevenson, Books of the Year 2013 - The Observer*
"I was amazed... by the illustrations Carl Gustav Jung made for The
Red Book, which is considered the holy grail of the
unconscious."
*W Magazine*
"...for such an arcane work [The Red Book] is generating quite a
buzz... publishing The Red Book opens a new era in understanding
Jung's work. It is a unique window on the construction of one of
the world's most influential psychologies."
*New Scientist*
"The book is witness to a rare dedication to psychological
research, and a prodigious curiosity. More crucially, at a time
when the limits of materialism are being tested and found wanting,
Jung's confidence in a spiritual dimension to human consciousness
must have a renewed appeal. For this, the book deserves attention,
especially when established religious models are fading in
popularity and the search for a meaningful life seems to have
become increasingly urgent and elusive."
*Sally Vickers - The Times*
