What do users say? AI-generated summary

Users find the novel extremely engaging and absorbing, with vivid descriptions and charming characters. Many appreciate how it transports them to 19th-century Vienna and brings them closer to Nietzsche’s life and thought, and they also praise the translation. However, some find the narrative slightly moralizing or Nietzsche’s portrayal more sensitive than he really was.

  • A fantastic book, though slightly moralizing by today’s standards. But it’s a quick read because it unfolds the scientific life of 19th-century Vienna and is based on characters who really existed. It’s also an opportunity to “learn” Nietzsche.

  • A masterpiece by Yalom, an author who never ceases to surprise us with his vivid description and charming characters. Perhaps only Nietzsche's portrayal made him slightly more "sensitive" than in reality. A book that everyone should have read, about a personality that indelibly marked the course of human thought.

Description & Specifications

Through a series of secret agreements, the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the Austrian doctor Josef Breuer, one of the fathers of psychoanalysis, meet in 19th-century Vienna, in an inspired process of dual psychotherapy.

In this adventure of existential searching, two unique individuals are involved: a young resident doctor named Sigmund Freud, a stormy woman idolized by poets and psychiatrists, Lou Salomé, and a captivating patient, Anna O., who haunts her doctor's soul.

The famous psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom invents in this novel the encounter of two historical figures in the metropolis of intellectual ferment of the 19th century, Vienna, providing an interpretative version of the birth of psychotherapy and its relationship with existential philosophy.

The therapeutic adventure that unfolds is breathtaking as it reveals step by step the healing power of true connection.
