Description
by Louis Breger (Author)
"Freud: Darkness in the Midst of Vision" ist eine neue gro e Biographie einer der wohl umstrittensten und einflu reichsten Persönlichkeiten der jüngeren Geschichte - Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Er ist der geheimnisvolle Begründer der Psychoanalyse, ein Mann, der einen enormen Einflu auf unser modernes Denken hatte. Überall auf der Welt kennt man sein Gesicht - das weise, grauhaarige Genie mit seiner Zigarre, dem ordentlich gestutzten Bart und dem Ma anzug; der Psychoanalytiker, dessen Blick die Tiefen der menschlichen Seele zu durchdringen scheint. Aber was wir von Freud bislang nicht wu ten, ist da er hart an seinem Image arbeitete. Es ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil eines persönlichen Mythos, das er über die Jahre gepflegt hat; eine Vision seines Lebens, die teils Wahrheit, teils Phantasie ist.
Dieses flüssig geschriebene Buch analysiert und enträtselt das Geheimnis um Freud und zeigt auf, da alles, was er tat und schrieb von seinem Bedürfnis geprägt war, ein neues, heldenhaftes Selbst zu schaffen und seine Ursprünge zu vernichten. Indem er dieses Ziel erreichte, schuf er sowohl eine persönliche Legende als auch die Geschichte der psychoanalytischen Bewegung.
