Freud's Requiem: Mourning, Memory, and the Invisible History of a Summer Walk de Matthew von Unwerth

Freud's Requiem: Mourning, Memory, and the Invisible History of a Summer Walk

Autor Matthew von Unwerth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mar 2006
Matthew von Unwerth explores Sigmund Freud's provocative ideas on the connections between creativity and mortality in this elegant literary musing. Taking as his starting point the essay On Transience, Von Unwerth, examines the origins of human creativity from a psychoanalytic standpoint, tracing the arc of Freud's beliefs on the subject from his passionately curious teenage years to his death after a long struggle with cancer in 1939. Drawing on a variety of literary and historical sources - from the Odyssey to Goethe to Freud's earliest letters - Freud's Requiem is both an intimate personal drama and an absorbing intellectual debate.

Recenzii

'Although psychoanalytic ideas provide a backdrop, von Unwerth is equally interested in the characters and experiences contemporary and historical that informed Freud's thought . . . Von Unwerth's unconventional approach is refreshing, and his literary fluency brings vitality to a well-worn subject.' The New York Times Book Review 'Delicate, powerful, and full of beauty [with] prose that floats like music. The lives of [Freud and Rilke] make such a powerful story that one wonders why it took so long to hear it. Essential for most libraries and for humanists and scientists alike.' Library Journal 'A thoughtful riff . . . An interesting disquisition on a small moment that would loom large in Freud's imagination.' Kirkus Reviews 'Unwerth proffers biographical interpretations of Freud's theories on love, attachment, narcissism, grief and mourning, in an accessible, intriguing and daringly speculative study of a little-known work by the father of psychoanalysis.' Publishers Weekly
'Matthew von Unwerth's Freud's Requiem shows us why Freud continues to fascinate even as we argue with him.'
'[Matthew von Unwerth's] book is about non-events, which makes it a witty variation on the current vogue for biographical "micro-history"'   The Guardian, 29 April 2006
'In Freud's Requiem Matthew von Unwerth takes the remarkable features of "On Transience" and runs, or, rather, glides with them. It is not just that his prose style has the melodic grace of a fin-de-siècle Viennese feuilleton. A trained psychoanalyst, von Unwerth excels at reading associatively....von Unwerth gives his readers a probing, imaginative, well-informed, lucid account...[also] prominent [is] the book's eloquence and creative intelligence.' ~ Paul Reitter, Times Literary Supplement, 2007
