Robin Robertson

Walker, a young Canadian recently demobilised after war and his active service in the Normandy landings and subsequent European operations. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and unable to face a return to his family home in rural Nova Scotia, he goes in search of freedom, change, anonymity and repair. We follow Walker through a sequence of poems as he moves through post-war American cities of New York, Los Angles and San Francisco.

The Long Take

‘I’ve long admired Robin Robertson’s narrative gift . . . If you love stories, you will love this book.’ Val McDermid The new book from the author of The Long Take, shortlisted for the Booker Prize and winner of both the Walter Scott Prize and the Goldsmiths Prize. Like some lost chapters from the Celtic folk tradition, Grimoire tells stories of ordinary people caught up, suddenly, in the extraordinary: tales of violence, madness and retribution, of second sight, witches, ghosts, selkies, changelings and doubles, all bound within a larger mythology, narrated by a doomed shape-changer – a man, beast or god. A grimoire is a manual for invoking spirits. Here, Robin Robertson and his brother Tim Robertson – whose accompanying images are as unforgettable as cave-paintings – raise strange new forms which speak not only of the potency of our myths and superstitions, but how they were used to balance and explain the world and its predicaments. From one of our most powerful lyric poets, this is a book of curses and visions, gifts both desired and unwelcome, characters on the cusp of their transformation – whether women seeking revenge or saving their broken children, or men trying to save themselves. Haunting and elemental, Grimoire is full of the same charged beauty as the Scottish landscape – a beauty that can switch, with a mere change in the weather, to hostility and terror.

Euripides

Daniel Mendelsohn

A bold new translation of Euripides’ shockingly modern classic work, from Forward Prize-winning poet, Robin Robertson, with a new introduction by bestselling and award-winning writer, critic and translator Daniel Mendelsohn. Thebes has been rocked by the arrival of Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy. Drawn by the god’s power, the women of the city have rushed to worship him on the mountain, drinking and dancing with frenzied abandon. Pentheus, the king of Thebes, is furious, denouncing this so-called “god” as a charlatan and an insurgent. But no mortal can deny a god, much less one as powerful and seductive as Dionysus, who will exact a terrible revenge on Pentheus, drawing the king to his own tragic destruction. This stunning translation by award-winning poet Robin Robertson reinvigorates Euripides’ masterpiece. Updating it for contemporary readers, he brings the ancient verse to fervid, brutal life, revealing a work of art as devastating and relevant today as it was in the fifth century, BC.

Vegan on the Cheap

A writer's public life is not -- as is often thought -- a round of glamorous parties, prize-acceptance speeches, and triumphant readings to amphitheatres full of loyal, cheering fans; it is, in fact, a grim treadmill of humiliation and neglect. Mortification sets the record straight, once and for all. A collection of seventy specially commissioned contributions -- true stories of public indignity by some of our finest living writers -- this is a celebration of defeat, and a chance to indulge in that most malicious of pleasures: schadenfreude. You will read about dashed hopes and collapsing bowels, thwarted desire and unimpeded drinking; of fans queuing up for Stephen King's blood; Margaret Drabble bidding at a mock slave auction in Dallas; Louis de Bernières and the S&M prostitute; A. L. Kennedy's disintegrating trousers; William Boyd endorsing Shake 'n' Vac; Margaret Atwood's on-air brush with the Colostomy Association; about an author wanting to kill a member of her audience or another succeeding (accidentally) in killing his host's beloved pet. These are the best kind of stories: those told against the teller. While readers may be transfixed by the baroque twists of fate, the toe-curling embarrassments, the body's betrayals, and the mind's vanishing acts, they will also wonder at these writers' brave acknowledgment of their own vulnerability and the willingness to expose their shame, a second time, before the public.

Mortification

Traces the modern evolution of archetypes from the Renaissance to the 20th century, leading up to the archetypal hypothesis of the psychology of C. G Jung, and the mirroring of mathematical ideas of Kurt Godel. After reading this book, you'll know what archetypes are, and why they are more important in our lives today!

Jung, Gödel, and the History of Archetypes

Jungian Archetypes

Rice and Spice

In this definitive introduction to the work of C. G. Jung, Dr. Robertson explains how Jung reintroduced Westerners to the world of archetypes--the imagery of the collective unconscious, of mythology, and the symbols in nature. He discusses the structure and dynamics of the psyche, the meaning of dreams, the shadow, the anima/animus, and the mysterious figure of the Self. This practical yet inspiring introduction can make Jung's exciting philosophy/psychology part of your life.

Beginner's Guide to Jungian Psychology

The person you think you are is just a tiny part of your total psyche, because just behind the veil of consciousness lurks your shadow side. Let Jungian psychologist Robin Robertson show you how to engage your shadow and become a whole person.

Your Shadow

Dr. Robertson's books on Jungian psychology have been read and appreciated not only in America and other English speaking countries, but through translation into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Hebrew, and Persian. Some of his best work can be found, however, in shorter pieces, previously available only to readers of specialized journals. This book contains the first volume of his favorite essays.

Inner Voices

There is no change that doesn't begin in the darkness of the human soul. When the obligation to become whole is laid upon an individual, the first task he must undertake is to confront his Shadow. The necessity for the confrontation with the Shadow has been known by all cultures in all times and recorded in their myths and legends. This book is about the Shadow contained in each of us, and why we must each join with our shadow, the archetype of darkness and evil, in order to become whole. This heroic process is crucial, as the projection or denial of the Shadow twists its true meaning into a destructive force. Author Robertson draws from stories of real people's lives, the Bible, fairy tales and legends, modern fiction and the work of famed depth-psychologist C. G. Jung as well as his own experiences.--From publisher description.

A Painted Field

La obra y el pensamiento de C. G. Jung (1875-1961) han transformado el mundo de la psicología moderna. Jung fue un pensador original, pero muchas de sus ideas todavía son en gran parte desconocidas o mal comprendidas. Su contribución se extiende más allá de la teoría y la práctica de la psicología, alcanzando su influencia campos como la mitología o la historia de las religiones. En esta introducción definitiva al trabajo de C. G. Jung, el Dr. Robertson nos explica cómo el genial psicólogo suizo reintrodujo a Occidente en el mundo de los arquetipos del inconsciente colectivo, de la mitología y de los símbolos de la naturaleza. Robertson explora la estructura y la dinámica de la psique, el significado de los sueños, de la sombra, del anima, del animus, de la misteriosa figura del self y el proceso de individuación. “Por fin una introducción a la psicología de Jung que puedo recomendar a estudiantes y colegas, sin duda la introducción más legible que podamos encontrar en el mercado” Allan Combs, autor de Syncronicity "Introducción a la psicología junguiana es una joya. Robertson posee la rara capacidad de escribir sobre temas complejos con claridad y sencillez. Su libro es sistemático y basado en las mejores fuentes, está escrito con claridad y es agradable de leer. ¿Qué más se le puede pedir a un libro?” Lance Beize, Gnosis
