Carl Jung (1875-1961)
Typed letter signed (‘C.G. Jung’) to Henri Corbière, Küsnacht-Zürich, 14 November 1952
In French. One page, 208 x 147mm, on headed paper. Provenance: International Autograph Auctions Ltd, 7 March 2009, lot 320.

A questionnaire on Jung’s life and work. Jung replies to his correspondent’s questions: was his literary debut easy or difficult? Did his means of living (another profession or a private income) enable him to make himself known in literature? Or did he live solely through his pen? What work made him most famous, and which does he consider his masterpiece? The psychiatrist replies: '1. They were happy and difficult. 2. I do not know which book has been the most popular and my illusions regarding my work are not pertinent. 3. To live!'

Henri Corbière of the Société des Gens de Lettres de France requests Jung’s participation in a survey for his book provisionally entitled ‘Maxims of life of contemporary writers and Scientists’. As part of this project, Corbière sent the same questionnaire to Nobel Prize laureates and literary figures such as Richard Wright, George Whipple and Sir Alexander Fleming. His book appears to have remained unpublished.
