Eros of the Impossible: The History of Psychoanalysis in Russia
19.99 €
Psychoanalysis developed rapidly and in its own unique way in the atmosphere of the Silver Age and the first futurist experiments of the Bolsheviks. Its history in Russia is an unusual interweaving of the intellectual influences of Freud and Nietzsche. The book consists of chapters devoted to different periods of the development of Russian psychoanalysis, interspersed with life stories of famous Russian analysts and patients. The love affair of C. Jung with the Russian psychoanalyst Sabina Spielrein is examined in detail. In light of new materials about the friendship of M. Bulgakov with the first US ambassador to the USSR and Freud's patient William Bullitt, a new interpretation of "The Master and Margarita" is given. The author has found new archival materials. The book opens a fascinating, previously almost unknown line of development of Russian thought. Psychoanalysts and symbolist poets, anthroposophists and Marxists, stars of European modern culture and NKVD agents – they all meet again on these pages. This is the first book by historian Alexander Etkind, a professor at Cambridge and several European universities. One of the most famous Russian humanitarians, Etkind explores various topics in intellectual and cultural history, and has published more than a dozen books in various languages.
