The Red Book: A Reader’s Edition
By C. G. Jung (Author), Sonu Shamdasani (Author), John Peck (Author), Mark Kyburz (Author)
The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C.G. Jung’s later works. It was here that he developed his theories that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in The New York Times, “The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization…it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.” The Red Book: A Reader’s Edition features Sonu Shamdasani’s introductory essay and the full translation of Jung’s vital work in one volume.

The Aleph and Other Stories
by Jorge Luis Borges
The Aleph and Other Stories is a book of short stories by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The title work, “The Aleph”, describes a point in space that contains all other spaces at once. The work also presents the idea of infinite time. Borges writes in the original afterword, dated May 3, 1949 (Buenos Aires), that most of the stories belong to the genre of fantasy, mentioning themes such as identity and immortality. Borges added four new stories to the collection in the 1952 edition, for which he provided a brief postscript to the afterword.
