The 16th century essayist Michel de Montaigne prefigured Jung by working in a private library he built in the southern tower guarding the stone walls of his French chateau. Mark Twain wrote much of the adventures of Tom Sawyer in a shed on the property of the quarry farm where he was spending the summer.
