Sigmund Freud: Life and Work

Stefan Zweig dedicated this largely biographical work to the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Zweig acknowledges Freud's scientific contributions and highlights some weaknesses of his fellow countryman. Freud's actual achievement is less to be found in scientific detail, but in the multitude of his contributions with which he enabled and inspired the thinking, rethinking and research of many of his successors. Zweig describes the life of Freud and the genesis of psychoanalysis with his usual linguistic virtuosity. The original work Heilung durch den Geist - Sigmund Freud has been published in 1931 Germany. The audiobook is based on a new translation from 2021 for Aureon Verlag GmbH.
