The Interpretation of Dreams (Oxford World's Classics) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This groundbreaking new translation of The Interpretation of Dreams is the first to be based on the original text published in November 1899. It restores Freud's original argument, unmodified by revisions he made following the book's critical reception. Reading the first edition reveals Freud's original emphasis on the use of words in dreams and on the difficulty of deciphering them and Joyce Crick captures with far greater immediacy and accuracy than previoustranslations by Strachey's Freud's emphasis and terminology. An accessible introduction by Ritchie Robertson summarizes and comments on Freud's argument and relates it to his early work. Close annotation explains Freud's many autobiographical, literary and historical allusions and makes this the first edition topresent Freud's early work in its full intellectual and cultural context. - ;This groundbreaking new translation of The Interpretation of Dreams is the first to be based on the original text published in November 1899.
