Authors: C. G. Jung and Aniela Jaffe
In 1957, at the age of 81, C. G. Jung began a collaboration with his student and secretary Aniela Jaffe and the legendary publisher Kurt Wolff on a book about his life. “Memories, Dreams, Reflections” would become a bestseller, yet it draws from less than half of Jaffe’s original interviews with Jung.
Much of the material from these candid, wide-ranging conversations was left on the cutting-room floor. “Jung’s Life and Work” presents these interviews in their entirety for the first time.
Marking the 150th anniversary of Jung’s birth, this new English translation captures the cadence and subtlety of the brilliant psychologist in his own words, giving voice to a thinker and teacher who is by turns witty and intellectually daring but also vulnerable and humbled by the world’s great mysteries.
It restores numerous passages that were originally omitted or heavily edited and toned down for publication, “auntified” as Jung himself put it.
