Jung
wasn't known for writing books for the layperson, but this is one of
the very few he did. A friend got this book for me some time ago
after we had been discussing Jung's work and the influence of the
“collective unconscious” on our modern minds, not to mention
dreams and their meanings (which this book can't avoid discussing).

Brother of Sleep – by: Robert Schneider (1992); translated by: Shaun Whiteside (1995)
I
got this book as a surprise birthday gift and enjoyed reading it,
though I disagree with the main premise; namely that genuis can be
lost to the world if it cannot flourish because of worldly
circumstances. I don't believe any true talent, or genius, is ever
lost, because it is always derived from a larger whole. What doesn't
emerge in one place (or person) will eventually find expression
someplace else. The story is well told though, and provides lots of
food for thought.
