The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud

Ernest Jonesâ€™s three-volume The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud was first published in the mid-1950s. This edited and abridged volume omits the portions of the trilogy that dealt principally with the technical aspects of Freudâ€™s work and is designed for the lay reader. Jones portrays Freudâ€™s childhood and adolescence; the excitement and trials of his four-year engagement to Martha Bernays; his early experiments with hypnotism and cocaine; the slow rise of his reputation and constant battles against distortion and slander; the painful defections of close associates; the years of international eminence; the onset of cancer and his stoicism in the face of an agonizing death.

â€œOne of the outstanding biographies of the age... It gives us an unmatched â€” and unretouched â€” portrait of Freud as a human being.â€ â€” The New York Times

â€œThe definitive life of Freud and one of the great biographies of our time... Charged with intellectual excitement, it is a chronicle of heroic struggle and adventurous discovery.â€ â€” The Atlantic

â€œA landmark of literature, a remarkable appreciation of one of the remarkable spirits of the modern age.â€ â€” Scientific American

â€œSuperb drama... Dr. Jones has managed to illuminate some obscure corners of Freudâ€™s first years with a thoroughness that would have astonished, and might well have dismayed, the reticent and august Freud.â€ â€” The New Yorker

â€œA masterpiece of contemporary biography... The letters are also a fascinating guide to the man. From them emerges suddenly a tough, jealous, ferocious figure.â€ â€” Time
