Studies in Jungian Thought
EVIL
edited by the Curatorium of
the C.G. Jung-Institut, Zurich
translated by Ralph Manheim
and Hildegard Nagel
From time immemorial the
best minds have pondered the
question of evil: What is its
source? What is its true na–
ture? What role does evil
play in human creativity? To
gain deeper insights into the
tangle of difficulties surround–
ing this subject, the Institute
invited eight eminent scholars
(C. Ken!nyi, Goo Widengren,
Victor Maag, Marie-Luise
von Franz, Martin Schlapp–
ner, Liliane Frey, Karl La–
with, and Karl Schmid) to
analyze evil. Topics discussed
include evil in mythology, in
Eastern religions, in fairy
tales, in the cinema, and in
the creative process.

TAVEL writes us about himself as
follows: "Ronald Tavel's family,
bearing a Swiss-Huguenot name,
actually derives from over a half
dozen countries in Europe and Asia.
It numbers among its members
Bernard-Livingstone and Coia, Royal
Architects to Elizabeth II and Over–
seers of Church Reconstruction in
Britain, the Greek translator Zal–
kind, Mario Lanza, and Francisco
G'oya. After leaving the universi–
ties, Tavel traveled widely in Cana–
da, Mexico, France and Spain. His
strange and often gri m adventures
during an extended sojourn in Afri–
ca provided the background for his
lengthy novel, Str,eet of Stairs, selec–
tions from which appear in the
1964 and '65 issues of Chicago Re–
view and 1967 Intransit. Among his
plays produced in America and
Scandinavia are The Life of Lady
Godiva (Bantam Books, Fall 1967),
The Life of Juanita Castro (Tri–
Quarterly, no. 6), Shower, Tarzan
of the Flicks, Screen Test, and Goril–
la Queen. He was playwright-in–
residence of the Play-House of the
Ridiculous and is Andy Warhol's
scenarist, having written the screen–
plays for almost a score of films
including The Chelsea Girls, Hedy,
Vinyl, and Horse. His poetry and
essays appear in a wide variety of
academic and avant-garde publica–
tions." ... FREDERICK C_ CREWS
