Until now, the single most important unpublished work by C.G. Jung-The Black Books.
In 1913, C.G. Jung started a unique self- experiment that he called his confrontation with the unconscious : an engagement with his fantasies in a waking state, which he charted in a series of notebooks referred to as The Black Books. These intimate writings shed light on the further elaboration of Jung´s personal cosmology and his attempts to embody insights from his self- investigation into his life and personal relationships. The Red Book drew on material recorded from 1913 to 1916, but Jung actively kept the notebooks for many more decades.
Presented in a magnificent, seven-volume boxed collection featuring a revelatory essay by noted Jung scholar Sonu Shamdasani-illuminated by a selection of Jung´s vibrant visual works-and both translated and facsimile versions of each notebook, The Black Books offer a unique portal into Jung´s mind and the origins of analytical psychology.
