To search within a PDF document click the binocular icon The Marion C. Hoppin Library of Jungian Psychology is privileged to offer two generously donated copies of C. G. Jung's The Red Book available for on-site research. The Red Book is unique in the detail the reader learns about Carl Jung's life as he pursued a relationship with his Self. Because he was first a scientist, Jung gives detailed account of how he encountered his psyche through dreams, active imagination and art. He records how his psyche responds to the outer events of the world at war. He uses The Divine Comedy, Faust, and The Odyssey in his text as well as responding to Thus Spoke Zarathustra and to Nietzsche's proposition that for modern man, God is dead. Jung's response is that God is neither dead nor to be found in outer religious, national or political containers but is to be discovered and struggled with in the living of each individual life.

It
is so appropriate that this is physically a very large book with beautiful color representations
of Jung's art on quality paper. One reviewer familiar with all of Jung's collected works
said, "The Red Book is that much, much larger, more nuanced and tremendously numinous
structure that is behind, under, around and the foundation for all of Jung's subsequent
ideas, theories, publications and works. Extraordinary." This truly is a treasure that has
been buried too long.
