C. G. Jung's mysterious "Red Book" was first published in October 2009, fifty years after Jung's death. Until then it had been kept under lock and key in a Swiss bank safe. The Red Book documents Jung's examination of the unconscious and contains his dreams, visions and fantasies as a kind of diary - material that Jung later described as "raw material for a life's work". For the first time, this volume offers only the text, without the pictures - for all those who want to intensively engage with Jung's exploration of the unconscious. "I have worked on this book for 16 years. To the superficial observer it will seem like madness.
