In addition to Freud's groundbreaking text, meticulously edited, this magnificent volume includes an introduction and 16 essays by noted author and Freud scholar Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson. Relevant excerpts from such psychoanalytical writers as Jung, Lacan, and Horney illuminate Freud's theories, and an illustrated detailed biography shines a light on Freud's life and times. Exquisite art from many Modernist and Surrealist artists appear throughout, and Masson's sidebars appear as booklets "hidden" in the full-spread artwork.
