Description
Vienna in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a city of extraordinary creativity, where artists, thinkers, and intellectuals converged to shape the course of human endeavour. This was the era that gave birth to Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential figures in modern psychology. Freud's life and legacy are inextricably linked to the vibrant cultural scene of Vienna during this period. The city's coffee houses and salons were hotbeds of intellectual debate, where conversations between artists, thinkers, and scientists sparked groundbreaking ideas. Freud's own ideas about the human mind and behaviour were shaped by this dynamic environment, and his legacy continues to influence our understanding of ourselves today. This book offers a fresh reappraisal of Freud's life and legacy, set against the backdrop of Vienna's golden age. It is a lively and accessible portrait of a major figure, and a fascinating exploration of the city that helped to shape his ideas.
