Far from a simple narrative, the ‘Red Book’ is Carl Gustav Jung's 16-year voyage of discovery into his deepest self. Its 205 pages contain 53 full-page illustrations, 71 pages with both text and artwork, and 81 pages entirely of calligraphic text.

From its hiding place in a Swiss bank vault following his death, the original Red Book went on display at the Rubin Museum of Art, Manhattan from 2009-2010. A 2009 translation of the massive volume went on sale for a hefty US$200, but a subsequent Reader’s Edition became available at more modest prices from 2012.
