Description
Love was the great mystery in C. G. Jung’s life. His confrontation with love for a woman and a feminine soul animated the composition of Jung’s great Red Book, the book he formally titled Liber Novus.
C. G. Jung’s relationships with women during these central years of life have generated several commentaries and critiques.But the power and depth of love has figured little in most of the romances about this period patched together by biographers, dramatists, and psychoanalysts. In consequence, a crux experience of Jung’s life has been miscast and little understood.
Three decades after the events chronicled in his Red Book, C. G. Jung turned to writing a commentary on the still hidden records. In Jung in Love, Lance Owens illustrates how Jung’s four last books—his “last quartet” of major works published after 1945—are summary statements about his experiences during the years he labored with Liber Novus.
