Letters of C. G. Jung

<p>In May 1956 in his eighty-second year Jung first discussed with Gerhard Adler the question of the publication of his letters. Over many years Jung had often used the medium of letters to communicate his ideas to others and to clarify the interpretation of his work quite apart from answering people who approached him with genuine problems of their own and simply corresponding with friends and colleagues. Many of his letters thus contain new creative ideas and provide a running commentary on his work.<br><br>From some 1600 letters written by Jung between the years 1906-1961 the editors have selected over 1000. <em>Volume 2</em> contains 460 letters written between 1951 and 1961 during the last years of Jung's life when he was in contact with many people whose names are familiar to the English reader. These include Mircea Eliade R.F.C. Hull Ernest Jones Herbert Read J.B. Rhine Upton Sinclair and Fr. Victor White.<br><br><em>Volume 2 </em>also contains an addenda with sixteen letters from the period 1915-1946 and a subject index to both volumes. The annotation throughout is detailed and authoritative.</p>
