Jung's Myth for modern man | Maria-Louise von Franz

This is a special work by Marie-Louise von Franz, in which she deeply explores the biography of Carl Gustav Jung.

Although there are already many biographies of Jung, and the facts of his life have long been known to many, in this book, which can be called "Jung's spiritual legacy", the author manages to revise these well-known events from a new angle. She places Jung's external events, dreams and visions in a broader cultural, mythological and philosophical context, presenting them in a new light. The book helps to comprehend his life path on a deep level, showing how his personal spiritual path is important for each of us.

The style of the book is extremely elegant. Maria-Louise von Franz pays attention to subtle literary aspects and vivid insights. Being closer to Jung than most biographers, she views his life in a broader context than usual.
