E-raamat: We Want So Much to Be Ourselves

A German psychoanalyst, his Jewish wife, and their young daughter are swept up in the rising tide of fascismGnter Zeitz, psychoanalyst-in-training and the son of a Catholic country doctor, and Josine Rosen, Sigmund Freuds patient and the daughter of a Jewish shipping magnate, first meet in 1924, in Freuds Viennese waiting room. As their intense affair develops, Freud arranges for Gnters appointment to the newly created Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. Shortly after the move, their daughter Hannah is born. But less than a decade later, all their hopes and ideals are profoundly challenged by political realities so horrific that they are, initially, beyond comprehension. A heartrending story of love in a time of hatred, an absorbing investigation into the Nazis exploitation of psychoanalysis, and a cautionary tale about self-deception and the failures of a people to recognize the lies of their charismatic leader, We Want So Much to Be Ourselves examines the ways science can be corrupted and ones very identity transformed by historical circumstance.
