La biografÃa definitiva de un personaje clave del siglo XX que revolucionó la idea del ser humano. Tras décadas de hagiografÃas y de condenas encendidas, resulta muy complicado saber hoy en dÃa quién fue Sigmund Freud. Sin embargo, después de la publicación de las últimas biografÃas de referencia se han abierto nuevos archivos a los investigadores y lo fundamental de la correspondencia ya es accesible. Por tanto, este es un momento inmejorable para volver a un hombre y una obra sobre la que quedaba mucho que decir. El fundador del psicoanálisis era, para empezar, un vienés de la Belle Epoque, súbdito del Imperio austrohúngaro, heredero de la Ilustración alemana y judÃa. En cuanto al psicoanálisis en sÃ, es fruto de un esfuerzo colectivo, de un cenáculo en el cual Freud dio vÃa libre a su fascinación por lo irracional y las ciencias ocultas, convirtiendo a veces a sus amigos en enemigos, ejerciendo de Fausto pero también de Mefistófeles. Pensador moderno, pero conservador en polÃtica, nunca dejó de actuar de modo contradictorio con su obra, siempre en nombre de la Razón y de las Luces. Aquà está Freud en su tiempo, en su familia, rodeado de sus colecciones, con sus mujeres, sus hijos, sus perros; enfrentado al pesimismo ante el auge de los extremismos, lleno de dudas a la hora de emprender su exilio londinense, donde morirá. Pero también le veremos en el nuestro, alimentando nuestras preguntas con sus propias dudas, sus fracasos y sus pasiones. Ganadora de los premios literarios franceses Prix Decèmbre y Prix de Prix y traducida a 25 idiomas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Élisabeth Roudinesco offers a bold and modern reinterpretation of the iconic founder of psychoanalysis. Based on new archival sources, this is Freud's biography for the twenty-first century―a critical appraisal, at once sympathetic and impartial, of a genius greatly admired and yet greatly misunderstood in his own time and in ours. Roudinesco traces Freud's life from his upbringing as the eldest of eight siblings in a prosperous Jewish-Austrian household to his final days in London, a refugee of the Nazis' annexation of his homeland. She recreates the milieu of fin de siècle Vienna in the waning days of the Habsburg Empire―an era of extraordinary artistic innovation, given luster by such luminaries as Gustav Klimt, Stefan Zweig, and Gustav Mahler. In the midst of it all, at the modest residence of Berggasse 19, Freud pursued his clinical investigation of nervous disorders, blazing a path into the unplumbed recesses of human consciousness and desire. Yet this revolutionary who was overthrowing cherished notions of human rationality and sexuality was, in his politics and personal habits, in many ways conservative, Roudinesco shows. In his chauvinistic attitudes toward women, and in his stubborn refusal to acknowledge the growing threat of Hitler until it was nearly too late, even the analytically minded Freud had his blind spots. Alert to his intellectual complexity―the numerous tensions in his character and thought that remained unresolved―Roudinesco ultimately views Freud less as a scientific thinker than as the master interpreter of civilization and culture.
