L'interpretazione dei sogni

Rate this book
Sono i maggiori critici militanti e studiosi italiani a raccontare ogni opera in 10 parole per penetrare fino al cuore dei capolavori di tutti i tempi. Edizioni integrali, testi greci e latini a fronte, traduzioni eleganti, essenziali note a piè di pagina. In più, con le tavole sinottiche, è facile collocare vita e opere degli autori nel contesto storico, letterario e artistico.
L’interpretazione dei sogni non è un libro tradizionale, ma un libro che a rigor di logica andrebbe continuato, portato avanti con la stessa mentalità scientifica con la quale si accumulano dati statistici su un determinato fenomeno per comprenderne le leggi, e con la stessa furibonda e paziente forza interpretativa di Freud. E per questo al lettore va ripetuto che non può leggere L’interpretazione dei sogni in modo tradizionale, che deve entrare nell’ordine di idee che nei libri non bisogna cercare il bell’e fatto, ma ciò che in essi si va facendo e ciò che lui stesso può “fare” con la sua lettura pensante.
Giuseppe Montesano introduce In 10 parole chiave L’interpretazione dei sogni.

Dr. Sigismund Freud (later changed to Sigmund) was a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential—and controversial—minds of the 20th century.

In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna. After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays, with whom he had six children.

Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and experiences.

In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud and developed his own theories.

After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.

In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938, shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London with his wife and daughter Anna.

Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.

Libro estremamente bello, interessante per chi è appassionato dell’argomento e della psicologia.
Libro sicuramente non così scorrevole e di difficile lettura, ma meno di quanto mi aspettassi, salvo alcune parti (finali soprattutto).
