Relation Toward Books The Red Book: Liber Novus
When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called it his “confrontation with the unconscious,” the heart of it was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principle theories—of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation—that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality. While Jung considered The Red Book to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. This publication of The Red Book is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology. 212 color illustrations.Point Books In Pursuance Of The Red Book: Liber Novus

I have no idea how to rank this book, nor am I even quite sure what the hell I read. Although I know a little German, I read the accompanying English text. However one thing is certain, the experience was powerful, and the impact of the combination of the hand lettering, calligraphy and the careful illuminations with a bewildering flood of psychic imagery is something not to be forgotten.Here's a sample:The noise of the days of the world falls silent and the warming fire blazes inside.Sitting atA totally unexpected present from my mother who can now do no wrong. It's a gorgeous book, the paper is sublime and the images beautifully, exquisitely printed. Divine in both senses of the word. This is by far the most precious book in my library and I doubt whether much else could usurp it.
Would you like to take a spiral staircase down to the realm of the soul? Because in a nutshell that is what Jung has done in these pages.Jung is popularly known for coining the term "synchronicity and he is the founder of analytical psychology. I first heard about The Red Book many years ago when it was featured on the cover of The New York Times Magazine. I read the article and was left fascinated. In The Red Book, Jung has willingly entered into the realm of the unconscious and into

Only a few books read in a lifetime actually change you. Can you honestly say you are a different person after the work is absorbed? I feel that my cells have been re-charged with a new vitality.The Red Book is a lovingly inscribed and illustrated account of a deep inner journey into the heart of god, spirituality, mythology, and primarily the depths that Jung called the Shadow. Within only a few pages I was struck by many synchronicities - (another term coined by Jung) - specific details that
The Red Book by Carl Gustav JungTo all appearances, the work of an exorcist possessed by the devil: theological scrolls and mythological delusions abound in this inspired manuscript, filled with alchemical symbols and mandalas. Left unpublished until 2009, for fear it would ruin Jung's reputation (I don't even know) at last we can enjoy the best graphic novel of all time.Plot: Sometimes we accomplish our greatest deeds in dreams." It's true and he proves it.Rating: 98 out of 100.
This book is one of the most important documents of the soul of the twentieth century. For anyone interested in psychology it is a must-read.
Yes, for us Carl Jung fans this book is the Grail, but really it is kind of a let down. Aesthetically this book is the revelation all of us hoped it would be. The paper, the typography, the reproductions are scrumptious. (Yes, I ate them.) But there is a little bit of the presentation that leaves me head scratching. There is sort of this "introduction to Carl Jung," section and I think to myself, why would anyone interested in this book need an introduction to Carl Jung? And let's be serious:
