About this ebook

In Wilhelm Jensen’s 1903 novel Gravida, an archaeologist becomes obsessed with a woman depicted in an ancient bas-relief—who he then pursues in his dreams. Freud’s reading of the novel finds parallels and similarities to his own conception of the psychology of dreams, and sees in Jensen’s hero unresolved feelings for a childhood playmate. This volume prints Jensen’s novel in full, followed by Freud’s profound, book-length essay.

    The originality of the main work, Delusion and Dream, and the two essays that follow it are something that I found extremely impressive. Despite the validities of Freud's theories, it is a thoroughly engaging and intellectual powerhouse. The extrapolations that Freud builds upon are profound and there is no doubt that he was a great writer-- as well as thinker. The work itself that Freud uses to base his essay around, Gradiva, is flowery and isn't the centerpiece. Freud's work itself is. I would recommend it for those interested in the field of Psychology or Freud himself. This one is not to be missed.
