From the
acclaimed author of Love's Executioner and Schopenhauer's
Couch, comes a
fascinating...shrewd intellectual thriller (Los
Angeles Times Book Review)
Nietzsche
In nineteenth-century Vienna, a
drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that
defined the era. Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis,
is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest
philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the
headaches and other ailments that plague him.
When he agrees to treat Nietzsche
with his experimental talking cure, Breuer never expects that he too will
find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the
gifted healer begin to help his patient. In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin
Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense, to unfold an
unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.
