About this listen
An audio edition of the famous Red Book text and essay.
The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality.
As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, The creation of one of modern history's true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.
The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's vital work in one audiobook. The Red Book is skillfully narrated by Mike Fraser. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Michael Fraser reads with power and authority
However at times, it's obvious there is editing going on. Other than this, Jung's writing is clear and easy to follow - the biography at the start is immensely valuable

True courage
This book is akin to revelations from the bible, it’s narrative elements play out like Goethe’s Faust and its poetry similar in style to Psalms. It is however a type of dream biography, a narrative dialogue between characters representing temptation and the other a human soul. And if left as is this description would be an over simplification of this work and do it ill justice, as the content is far more complex then a simple “fictional” narrative for unlike his other works (some of which I have become familiar and fond of) this one stands alone. Raw testimony of a psychic journey into the inner workings of Jung’s problem solving process. Theology, the existence of a human soul, Satan, Hamartiology are but some of the topics he struggles with but it’s not the content so much as his style of delivery that’s impressive as most authors would omit certain personal/private elements not Yung.
