E-grāmata: Correspondence of Victoria Ocampo, Count Keyserling and C. G. Jung: Writing to the Woman Who Was Everything

'A work of scholarship and erudition, and an engrossing investigation into three extraordinary minds. Stephenson has unearthed a trove of fascinating documents, but it is their treatment that enthralls the reader: the mysteries they reveal, the personalities they unveil, and their vindication of Victoria Ocampo feminist, South American, cultural icon as a woman for our times.' Juan Gabriel Vįsquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling

'Victoria Ocampo comes alive in these pages. A long-overdue recognition of Ocampo's immense influence on the literary culture of Argentina and the rest of the world. What Craig Stephenson has accomplished in this remarkable and deeply researched book is nothing less than an act of restoration. It is also a celebration of a brilliant South American writer, editor, and critic pushing back against a society still unprepared for her.' Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King, shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize

'Craig Stephenson has the rare knack of taking a singular, often forgotten moment in history and mining it for unexpected riches. In this early 20th century "whodunit", Stephenson shows himself to be a master psychological detective in his use of primary sources to uncover the unconscious dynamics of a fateful encounter between the animus of a wealthy, South American heiress and the anima of a powerful, cultured, European aristocrat. Although the story unfolds almost one hundred years ago and is filled with dated ways of communicating (they actually write letters to one another) and the luxuries only afforded the most wealthy, it has strangely contemporary resonances that are all the more poignant in their stylized setting of the era between two world wars.' Tom Singer, co-author/editor of The Cultural Complex, Psyche and the City, and Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche
