Det som göms i snö kommer upp i tö ... "Next month sees the first ever publication of Carl Jung's "Red Book" in German and English. In 1913, at the age of 38, Jung suffered a sort of nervous breakdown. He was haunted by visions, heard voices, lost himself in the soup of his own psyche. And then he wrote down everything he had experienced, on an off for a period of 16 years. The book tells the story of Jung trying to face down his own demons as they emerged from the shadows. The results are humiliating, sometimes unsavory. In it, Jung travels the land of the dead, falls in love with a woman he later realizes is his sister, gets squeezed by a giant serpent and, in one terrifying moment, eats the liver of a little child. ('I swallow with desperate efforts — it is impossible — once again and once again — I almost faint — it is done.') At one point, even the devil criticizes Jung as hateful." Här finns info om den kommande utgåvan.
