In Venice, in December 1882, Lou Salomé, a bold and impetuous woman, devises a plan to save Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher on the verge of suicide after a failed relationship. Lou seeks the help of Josef Breuer, a renowned Viennese doctor, influenced by the innovative theories of his disciple Sigmund Freud. Breuer agrees to psychoanalyze Nietzsche without his knowledge, unaware that he is part of a personal intrigue hatched by Lou. With a narrative full of suspense, Irvin D. Yalom builds a story about the birth of psychoanalysis, imagining a meeting between Nietzsche and Breuer that revisits key figures of Western culture.
Irvin David Yalom is an American existential psychiatrist who is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, as well as author of both fiction and nonfiction.
