C. G. Jung – The Basel Years – A Walking Guide

Coming 1 August 2025

C.G. Jung: The Basel Years is a treasure trove of images and detailed information about Carl Jung’s historical connections with the city of his youth. Kathrin Schaeppi guides the reader on fascinating tours through a maze of narrow streets and old buildings that dramatically evoke the cultural and emotional atmosphere surrounding the young man who was destined to leave an indelible mark on his age and ours. This book is an invaluable supplement to Jung’s autobiographical classic, Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
