JUNG CARL: (1875-1961) Swiss Psychiatrist, founder of analytical psychology. T.L.S., C. G. Jung, one page, 4to, Zurich, 1st February 1949, to Mr. P. M. Shankland of Short Film Production in Hamburg. Jung states that his correspondent's proposition is most interesting, although remarks 'but it will be equally difficult to translate such a thing as my Essays on Contemporary Events into the language of the film'. Jung adds 'I must confess that I have not the slightest imagination in this respect' and suggests that his book should be given to 'a number of better-class writers that are interested in the film' and that a competition should be started amongst them 'in order to see what kind of dramatic phantasies they develop while reading the Essays'. Jung also explains 'My mind doesn't function along these modern ways, but I could imagine that a fertile and dramatizing mind could get the necessary kick out of my peculiar way of looking at things' and concludes by stating that he will hand Shankland's letter around among his colleagues and see if something turns up that might be of use. A letter of interesting content. Three file holes to the left edge, not affecting the text or signature. VG
