In the 1880's, Vienna was the glamour capital of Europe, and it was in that gay and brilliant city that Sigmund Freud began his long struggle to free men everywhere from the blindfolds and chains of their unknown natures. The Passions of the Mind is the story of an extraordinary man, Sigmund Freud, who proved that some of the most exciting challengers are not met on the battlefield or on icy mountain peaks, but inside the heart and mind of an individual human being. The story is told with the greatest attention to accuracy. Freud's work and research are recounted and presented as meticulously as in a biography, though the book is fictionalized to allow the reader understanding of Freud's feelings and thought processes. Freud was one of Vienna's most distinguished neurologists. He gave up a life of respectability and affluence to become a daring researcher of uncharted seas in an effort to change forever man's understanding of himself, his motivations and his world. He was a pioneer explorer of the dark and fearsome frontiers of the sexual nature of man, for which he was made a pariah! "This book involved six years of uninterrupted research and writing, yet the road was lighted at every turn, by the kindness and the generosity of almost everyone who had known Sigmund Freud or worked with him. " - Irving Stone . 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
