Under the outer layer of history, under the extravaganza of hectic battles for the tidbit, the redrawing of maps and the division of resources, there is a hidden history, the history of man’s search for the meaning of his existence and the discovery of his own essence. This quiet, painstaking work is carried out by people of outstanding intellect and conscience, who are like the links of a golden chain stretched through centuries, from eternity to eternity. This book will allow the reader to become a witness to the inner workings of humanity, introducing him into close acquaintance with the majestic figures of the Hermetic Circle of the middle of the last century: Carl Gustav Jung and Hermann Hesse, for whom the author, Miguel Serrano, was supposedly only a biographer. But, what is very valuable, his notes allow us to touch the living pulse and keen thought of those times directly, avoiding the slippery film of feeble-mindedness and soullessness of later interpreters.
