About this product

Product Information

The most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology. When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called his confrontation with the unconscious, the heart of it was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principle theories -- of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation -- that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality. While Jung considered The Red Book to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. This publication of The Red Book is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology.

  • A beautifully crafted mythological work of Jung s internal journeying.

    The central component to Jungs lifetime of focussed and dedicated body of work. Not to be overlooked by anyone with a deep appreciation of his ideas and system of psychological analysis. Jungs skills in creating this astonishingly beautiful book are second to none, in my experience. I am so glad I decided to spend the money (I know it is expensive!) as it is worth every penny. It is a very large red book!! A particularly wonderful one.

  • The heart of jungian mysticism

    Good quality hard copy. Contains both in the original german in handwritten gothic lettering with symbolic colored illustrations by the author, as well as an english translation in the back. If you are into Jung, it doesn't really get any better, publicationwise..

  • THE SPIRIT IN THE STONE

    Not a review - only at page five in the translation. The very presence of The Red Book on its stand is in itself a transformative object, but I can say, that the sunstance, the beautiful paper, the faultless reproduction of Jung's calligraphy and the fantastic paintings are literary and visual gemstones! It took since 2009 to take the step and acquire a copy of Carl Gustav Jung's Red Book and I am enriched with what is a wise investment. Provided one has a long familiarity with his work this volume will initiate a further integration in the reader .. the only other person I know who committed himself to obtaining a copy soon afterwards disappeared .. these things happen .. we open The Red Book and a unique adventure inevitably begins .. I advise going carefully about it in a circular manner .. over weeks, maybe months - it is not a work to regard lightly although it is full good humour ..

  • Not so much a review

    I actually only purchased this after frequently dreaming about the Title and have only recently received this Book and all I can say is it’s like a fine wine that needs savouring. So once I have indulged in this and completed then I will come back and review it correctly

  • Beautiful book

    Recommend it, but also buy the textbook to go along with it. Reading it is for me impossible.
