Synopsis

First published in November 1899, on the eve of the century, "The Interpretation of Dreams" is the originator of concepts such as the Oedipus complex and the notion, now taken for granted, that our daily lives are governed not only by conscious decisions but by unconscious pressures. Although it inaugurated the new practice and discipline of psychoanalysis, its most lasting impact has been on our social and cultural outlook, on how we interpret literature and art, and on the language in which we do so. This new translation is based on the original text. Reading the first theory Freud actually put forward in 1899 and how it fits into the rest of his early work. Joyce Crick's translation aims to capture the pace of Freud's style, freed from the jargon and Victorian elaborations of James Strachey's famous version. In his introduction Ritchie Robertson examines "The Interpretation of Dreams" not only as a scientific essay but also as an autobiographical and cultural document. The notes enable the reader to trace how Freud's ideas were stimulated by his wide reading and by his everyday professional and family life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
