Clean copy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sweeping work of literary historical fiction, The World Is Made of Glass chronicles the story of Magda von Gamsfeld, a troubled and fiercely complex woman who seeks out the legendary Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung in 1913 for a series of clandestine sessions. Morris West constructs a psychologically intense narrative that uncovers the darkest corners of human desire, guilt, and self-destruction through the charged dynamic between patient and analyst. Drawing on the real figure of Jung and the early, turbulent days of psychoanalysis, the novel presents a portrait of a woman whose confessions are as shocking as they are deeply human. West's prose is measured yet electrifying, balancing the clinical world of the emerging science of the mind with raw, visceral emotion. The result is a haunting meditation on sin, identity, and the terrifying fragility of the self — a reminder that the examined life can be as dangerous as it is illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763129364699,"sku":"2026600000505-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/947f680c-2346-4a8b-9dd2-cc97d27d5809.png?v=1778498940","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000505-secondhand-the-world-is-made-of-glass-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
