Early in his life, Carl Gustav Jung was an admirer and protege of Freud, but after their celebrated quarrel he became his enemy and rival. With his discovery of the collective unconscious (the part of the mind we may share with all other human beings, living and dead), with his profound interest in myth and symbol and his explorations into the true alchemy, astrology and even UFOs, Jung is now established as a source of "alternative" ideas that have fascinated generations. This biography portrays an extraordinary man and thinker. Frank McLynn has also written biographies of Charles Edward Stuart, the explorers Stanley and Richard Burton, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
