The Washington Post - Michael Dirda

…recalls an allegorical-mythological amalgam of Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra, Blake's illuminated poems, Renaissance Neoplatonic dialogue, Eastern scripture, Dante's Inferno, Yeats's "A Vision" and even the biblical book of Revelation…certainly one of the most distinctive gift books of the upcoming holiday season. With a rich crimson dust jacket, thick cream-colored paper and calligraphied pages, this huge tome is the size of a lectern Bible and looks like the kind of spell book a wizard might consult …In short, this is a volume that will be treasured by the confirmed Jungian or by admirers of beautifully made books or by those with a taste for philosophical allegory.
