'An outstanding map to guide the reader through the labyrinth of associations, images, and thoughts contained in Jung's Red Book. Drob locates its innumerable themes within an historical context of classical, modern, and postmodern philosophy, connects Jung's ideas with his later works, and elucidates Jung's unique contribution to Western thought....a work of exploration that serves as a companion to any reader who wishes to fathom the secrets of Jung's most enigmatic work.' --John Hill
