It challenges the traditional view of Liber Novus as a mere copy of the Commedia and proposes that it can be seen as Jung's Divine Comedy. The book offers a new perspective on Jung's understanding of visionary works and the visionary mind and considers how this approach can enhance our understanding of depth psychology. It revolves around themes such as metanoia, symbolism of animals, the feminine, erotic and spiritual imagery of the soul, and the Jung-Dante correlation. The book will be of interest to academics, postgraduate students, Jungian analysts, and psychoanalysts in the fields of Jung, Dante, analytical psychology, depth psychology, hermeneutics, and Western esoteric currents and practices. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04 August 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis captivating book delves into the enigmatic origins of the Red Book (or Liber Novus), shedding light on its genesis through the lens of Jung's lifelong engagement with Dante.
