What a brilliant and engrossing book this is。 It reads like a super-fast thriller and it describes the historical as well as the personal circumstances of Freud's times and the efforts which were done in order to save this great personality and his family members from the clutches of the Nazi beasts。 There are only few authors today who can cause one， in this case-me， to finish a book in one reading， and Mr。 Nagorski is one of them。 Superbly told and researched， this is a micro-history which des What a brilliant and engrossing book this is。 It reads like a super-fast thriller and it describes the historical as well as the personal circumstances of Freud's times and the efforts which were done in order to save this great personality and his family members from the clutches of the Nazi beasts。 There are only few authors today who can cause one， in this case-me， to finish a book in one reading， and Mr。 Nagorski is one of them。 Superbly told and researched， this is a micro-history which deserves to be read as soon as possible。 Bravo， Mr。 Nagorski！ 。。。more

Saving Freud is an interesting and indepth exploration of Freud's final years。 It's a novel way of approaching biography: not just telling the story of your subject， but also those of several other people whose lives intersected with his。 While I was expecting a very focused account of how Freud escaped Vienna， this is a book filled with tangents （some more interesting than others） that builds a wider picture of psychoanalysis， 20th century Jewish experience and European culture more generally。 Saving Freud is an interesting and indepth exploration of Freud's final years。 It's a novel way of approaching biography: not just telling the story of your subject， but also those of several other people whose lives intersected with his。 While I was expecting a very focused account of how Freud escaped Vienna， this is a book filled with tangents （some more interesting than others） that builds a wider picture of psychoanalysis， 20th century Jewish experience and European culture more generally。 I found it particularly interesting to see a focus on the interwar period in Austria， and I felt not only that I learned a lot， but also that I got a real sense of what Freud's life in Vienna was actually like。*Thank you to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review* 。。。more

I've always known that Freud went to England from Austria （Vienna） to be precise， but not how he did it。 This book gave a list of people who helped him and befriended him before he made this move。 Of the people who helped him was Marie Bonaparte， she was the Princess of Greece and Denmark， and lived in Paris。 She was a patient and also a person who learned psychoanalysis from Freud。 She helped Freud with money and to depart his home with the help of many others bribing the German （Anton Sauerwal I've always known that Freud went to England from Austria （Vienna） to be precise， but not how he did it。 This book gave a list of people who helped him and befriended him before he made this move。 Of the people who helped him was Marie Bonaparte， she was the Princess of Greece and Denmark， and lived in Paris。 She was a patient and also a person who learned psychoanalysis from Freud。 She helped Freud with money and to depart his home with the help of many others bribing the German （Anton Sauerwald）。 I wanted to read this book because my daughter lives in Vienna and because I have my masters in Clinical Psychology。 This book brought everything out in the open for me。 。。。more
