Review of : Man and His Symbols
Hannes said
Is this the Ancient Wisdom for the Modern World ?

by Carl G. Jung (Author) and M.-L. von Franz, Joseph L. Henderson, Jolande Jacobi, Aniela Jaffe.
ISBN / ASIN 0490001904

There isn't much to to see on Amazon.com but I may provide some links to my bookshelf StoneHarpMan at BookCrossing.com :::
Man and his Symbols (English) = 5 books
or / oder
Der Mensch und seine Symbole (Deutsch = 1 Buch)

NO! means: “It is NOT the Ancient Wisdom for the Modern World …” my thought, since I read this book in Deutsch und/and in English.

BUT: the pictures in the book (Hardcover only) are quite impressive. Jung “and Co.” providing text to this pictures.

TIP: You may read this book like I did, just flip the pages from pic-to-pic; read the respective short text for the picture, and even more when it's interesting for you.

AND: The most intersting “thing” I found in the Introduction by John Freeman, almost 7 pages to read, for example:
The second point I wish to make is about a characteristic of argumentative method that is common to all the writers of this book - perhaps to all Jungians.
… .
I began by describing how Jung came to write Men and his Symbols.

He completed his task and his life in the same Month.
