Мантикора by Robertson Davies

A successful businessman suffers a nervous breakdown after his powerful father’s death and submits to Jungian analysis, which forces him to re-examine his childhood in a small Ontario town, the complex family ties and secrets that shaped him, and the mythic archetypes and moral ambiguities underlying his public persona; presented through therapy transcripts and reflective narrative, the story probes memory, identity, guilt and the uneasy reconciliation of ordinary life with hidden depths.
