His book, My life, memories, dreams and thoughts Jung traces the path throughout his life. Partly written by him, partly by his collaborator Aniela Jaffé, this book allows us to measure how Jung's life has not been "smooth sailing". Several authors have written biographies, one of the largest I quote:
Marie Louise von Franz: CG Jung, his myth in our time
Barbara Hannah: Jung, his life and his work
Gerhard Wehr: Carl Gustav Jung, his life, his work, his influence
Vincent Brome: Carl Gustav Jung, the man and the myth
I remember mainly that of Marie Louise von Franz and Barbara Hannah that provide valuable additions to the autobiography "official .
This was the subject of much criticism, some of the evidence gathered by Aniela Jaffé not included in this book. Besides
Atlantic Deirdre Bair wrote in November 2003 a thick biography under the title Jung biography . His book, not translated in French to date, has been the subject of much controversy, especially from the descendants of CG Jung, who saw a very dim view of this publication.
The external facts, little presence in the autobiography, are widely discussed in the book by Barbara Hannah, and even more detailed in those by Gerhard Wehr, Vincent Brome and Deirdre Bair.
Reading these books brings us into contact with Jung close to nature, steeped in shadows and contradictions, more human.
It is on this basis that his work was born.
