Lou von Salomé: A Biography of the Woman Who Inspired Freud, Nietzsche and Rilke

The daughter of an illustrious Russian general, Lou von SalomÃ© left her home in the heart of Tsarist Russia to conquer intellectual Europe at the tender age of 18. Eventually settling in Germany, she became a best-selling novelist, a groundbreaking essayist, and a well-known literary critic. In addition to all this, SalomÃ© was a real-life muse for some of the most brilliant men of her time.
This biography tells the story of SalomÃ©â€™s entire life and career, focusing on her young adulthood; celibate marriage with linguistics scholar Carl Friedrich Andreas; rumored affairs with Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainier Maria Rilke, and several other authors and poets; and her relationship with Sigmund Freud, which was marked most notably by their contrasting views of psychoanalysis.
