Review
For Jungians this is a family album as well as an exhibition of the universe around this remarkable man. For the general reader it is the best short exposition of his ideas and life available; the pictures are a bonus.

A Guided Tour to Carl Jung,
By
This review is from: Word and Image, Bollingen Series XCVII, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
This is a biography of Carl Jung (1875-1961), but so much more than that. It traces his life and professional development, drawing on letters and extensive quotes from the Collected Works. It is profusely illustrated, not only with photographs of Jung and the relevant people and places in his life, but also with his drawings. After Jung's break with Freud in the early 1910's, Jung went through a about a decade of professional isolation and rich personal growth. During that time, he kept a journal called the "Red Book", which he decorated with drawing and paintings based on his dreams and active imagination. Many striking images from the Red Book are reproduced in this volume: a drawing of Philemon, Jung's inner spiritual guide; the viscerally disquieting "Meeting with the Shadow"; and a singularly captivating image, "The Light at the Heart of Darkness". Photos of Jung in his travels and at his house in Bollingen round out this engaging visual tour of Jung's contribution. This is a wonderful introduction to Jung's life and work, especially for someone of an artistic inclination.

Highly Recommended for Anyone Interested in Jung,
By
This review is from: Word and Image, Bollingen Series XCVII, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Fabulous documentary of an accomplished, complicated personality. It is a compassionate almost intimate accounting of the life and work of Carl Jung. It is profusely illustrated with his personal work and photos of life and family. Large type and understandable text. Great overall image of a great man.
