The Red Book: Liber Novus

Description

About The Red Book: Liber Novus

The Red Book is the long-awaited publication of Carl Gustav Jung’s most important and personal work – the manuscript he described as “the most important time of my life.” Written and illustrated between 1914 and 1930, this extraordinary volume captures Jung’s deep exploration of his own unconscious, a period of visionary self-experimentation that later formed the foundation of his theories on archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation.

For more than eighty years, The Red Book remained unseen by the public – known only through whispers and speculation among Jung’s followers. Now published in a full facsimile edition, this landmark volume offers readers a rare insight into the inner world of one of psychology’s greatest thinkers. Accompanied by scholarly essays and notes by Sonu Shamdasani, and translated by Mark Kyburz, John Peck, and Shamdasani, it unveils Jung’s extraordinary mind and artistic talent through over two hundred pages of vivid calligraphy and visionary paintings.

A masterpiece of psychology and art, The Red Book stands as a profound document of self-discovery and creativity – a journey into the depths of the human soul.
