About the Book
When they meet in New York in 1925, Henry Murray is an ambitious Harvard doctor married to a wealthy Boston heiress, and Christiana Morgan is a tempestuous art student and wife of a war veteran. Drawn by a force beyond them, the two travel to Switzerland to be analyzed by Carl Gustav Jung, who plunges Christiana into deep states of trance.Book Synopsis
«Jorge Volpi ha logrado rescatar a uno de los personajes más intrigantes y seductores de la historia de la psicología del siglo xx. [...] Una mujer inteligente e intuitiva; obcecada, sin embargo, con el amor perfecto, el amor eterno.» -Eloy Urroz«La historia de Christiana Morgan, fascinante, la encontré por causalidad en los archivos de la Universidad de Harvard. Es una mujer que mantuvo una relación como amante de uno de los principales profesores de Psicología de Harvard, Henry Murray. Entre los dos siguen un extraño experimento vital que denominan la díada y que intentan llevar a sus últimas consecuencias desafiando todas las convenciones de la época. Y juntos, a la sombra del psicoanálisis de Carl Gustav Jung, que fue maestro y analista de ambos, y de las visiones que ella tenía, intentan mantener esa especie de experimento vital en busca de conciliar la libertad absoluta con el amor absoluto.» Jorge Volpi ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Jorge Volpi has managed to rescue one of the most intriguing and seductive characters in the history of twentieth century psychology... A smart and intuitive woman; obsessed, however, with perfect love, eternal love." --Eloy Urroz
"Christiana Morgan's fascinating story, I found it by chance at Harvard University Archives. She is a woman who had an affair with one of the top psychology professors at Harvard, Henry Murray. They both carried on a strange life experiment called the dyad, which they tried to take to its ultimate consequences, defying every convention of the time. And together, under the shadow of Carl Gustav Jung's psychoanalysis--teacher and analyst to them both--and Christiana's visions, they tried to maintain this sort of life experiment in an attempt to reconcile absolute freedom with absolute love." --Jorge Volpi
