The great difficulty is the rather depressing\u003cbr\u003e impossibility of a publication.\" Now, eighty years later, in\u003ci\u003e Jacob and Esau: On the Collective\u003cbr\u003e Symbolism of the Brother Motif\u003c\/i\u003e, his important work is finally published. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this newly discovered manuscript, Neumann sowed the seeds of his later works. It provides a\u003cbr\u003e window into his original thinking and creative writing regarding the biblical subject of Jacob and\u003cbr\u003e Esau and the application of the brother motif to analytical psychology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Neumann elaborates on the central role of the principle of opposites in the human soul, \u003cbr\u003e contrasting Jacob's introversion with Esau's extraversion, the sacred and the profane, the inner\u003cbr\u003e and the outer aspects of the God-image, the shadow and its projection, and how the old ethic-\u003cbr\u003e expressed, for example, in the expulsion of the scapegoat-perpetuates evil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mark Kyburz, translator of C. G. Jung's \u003ci\u003eThe Red Book\u003c\/i\u003e, has eloquently rendered Neumann's text\u003cbr\u003e into English. Erel Shalit's editing and introduction provide an entr e into Neumann's work on\u003cbr\u003e this subject, which will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from lay persons to\u003cbr\u003e professionals interested in Jungian psychology and Jewish and religious studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Erich Neumann was born in Berlin in 1905.
