After 3 months of waiting my Inter-Library Loan copy of The Red Book finally arrived at the end of January. I was not disappointed ! No wonder this tome is in demand.The illustrations - Jung's visual account of his "soul journey" - are fabulous.
Given current controversy about climate change, it is also very interesting that "Liber Novus" opens with Jung's own visions of catastrophe, in which Europe is riven by flood and ice.
However, these presaged World War 1 rather than natural disasters.
On a more positive note, some years later Jung has his important "Liverpool Dream", which acts as sort of salvation and enables him to move forward with his life and work.
Must pay a visit to "The City of Culture" myself !
