Jung's Library

“The main content of Jung’s private library was contemporary literature of the 19th and 20th century, mainly about medicine, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy. Additionally there are a great number of books on antique cultures, gnosis, christian symbols, eastern religion, ethnology and occultism. The library also contains a collection of about 300 rare books (printed before 1800) on alchemy, theurgy and kabbala, as well as antique literature on dreams, writings of church fathers and of the latin and greek classic.”

In 1920 Jung went to visit North Africa. By seeing how other people viewed one’s national peculiarities one could better understand them. Jung had a dream about an Algerian who tried to kill him by drowning.  Later in the same dream Jung had another encounter with this Algerian where Jung forced him to read a book written by Jung. Jung believed his encounter with Arab culture was an influence on himself.
