About the book
Carl Jung brings together fundamental essays on his theory of archetypes—primordial images, symbols, and universal behavioral patterns that inhabit humanity's collective unconscious. From the shadow to the self, through mythological figures like the hero, the great mother, and the wise old man, Jung shows how these psychic structures manifest in dreams, myths, religions, and cultures.
A dense and seminal work of modern psychoanalysis, this text explores the collective dimension of the human psyche beyond individual experiences. Essential for anyone wishing to understand the depth of universal symbols and the archetypal roots of human behavior.
