The years, of which I have spoken to you, when I pursued the inner
images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is
to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later
details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in
elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded
me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was
the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything
later was merely the outer classification, the scientific
elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous
beginning, which contained everything, was then. These are the
words of the psychologist C. G. Jung in 1957, referring to the
decades he worked on The Red Book from 1914 to 1930. Although its
existence has been known for more than eighty years, The Red Book
was never published or made available to the wide audience of Jung
s students and followers. Nothing less than the central book of
Jung s oeuvre, it is being published now in a full facsimile
edition with a contextual essay and notes by the noted Jung scholar
Sonu Shamdasani and translated by Mark Kyburz, John Peck, and Sonu
Shamdasani. It will now be possible to study Jung s
self-experimentation through primary documentation rather than
fantasy, gossip, and speculation, and to grasp the genesis of his
later work. For nearly a century, such a reading has simply not
been possible, and the vast literature on his life and work has
lacked access to the single most important document. This
publication opens the possibility of a new era in understanding
Jung s work. It provides a unique window into how he recovered his
soul and constituted a psychology. It is possibly the most
influential hitherto unpublished work in the history of psychology.
This exact facsimile of The Red Book reveals not only an
extraordinary mind at work but also the hand of a gifted artist and
calligrapher. Interspersed among more than two hundred lovely
illuminated pages are paintings whose influences range from Europe,
the Middle East, and the Far East to the native art of the new
world. The Red Book, much like the handcrafted Books of Hours from
the Middle Ages, is unique. Both in terms of its place in Jung s
development and as a work of art, its publication is a landmark."
