Description
Annie Freud's Hiddensee represents a profound exploration of ambition and its necessity. This ambitious work delves into various art forms, taboos, illness, desire, and languages to understand the complexities of human experience. Freud draws upon her own heritage, including her German Jewish roots, as well as the influences of French-language Swiss poet Jacques Tornay, whom she identifies as a spiritual brother. The book is named after the Baltic island where Freud's grandmother spent her summers before the war, and it celebrates the work of this remarkable poet. In its unselfconscious internationalism and breathtaking cultural range, Hiddensee offers a radically European perspective that counters the cultural narrowness of our time. This thought-provoking collection confirms Annie Freud as one of our most essential poets.
