Sigmund Freud

Life and Work

By: Stefan Zweig

Narrated by: Dan Mellins-Cohen

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.

Poor Narrator

The hysterical, overwrought reading of Zweig’s work is unworthy of a great writer. He needs to calm down and remember that his audience are adults, not wide-eyed children.

Ode to Freud

This author is in love with Sigy, everything Sigy did was brilliant, I don’t think so, and I’m not alone with this opinion
