This is a fascinating story, told here for the first time in detail, of Jung's friendships with Mary Mellon and J. B. Priestley. Mary Mellon was the founder of the Bollingen Series, which published Jung's Collected Works in English, and the wife of the famous American philanthropist Paul Mellon. J. B. Priestley was a well-known British author and journalist who interviewed Jung several times for the BBC. Both admired Jung and helped make his psychology known and recognized throughout the world. In this book, which uses the letters to trace the course of these two friendships, we get a glimpse of Jung the man, with "nose and ears," as his son Franz said of him-a remarkable genius but also a man with ordinary human strivings and flaws. Based on Dr. William Schoenl's extensive research into Carl Jung's unpublished correspondence, this work illuminates the humanity of Jung and his associates Mary Mellon and J.B. Priestley. Jung's letters to Mary Mellon clearly show that he was anti-Nazi-despite an FBI file on him. Also, the book provides an authentic portrayal of life in Switzerland during World War II.
