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 exploration, two unique individuals are joined by a young resident doctor named Sigmund Freud, a tempestuous woman idolized by poets and psychiatrists, Lou Salomé, and a captivating patient, Anna O., who haunts her doctor’s soul.

The renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom invents in this novel the encounter between 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 psychotherapeutic adventure that unfolds is breathtaking as it reveals step by step the healing power of true connection.

In the book you will encounter:

  • The search for truth and self-awareness.
  • Topics of psychoanalysis and psychological trauma.
  • Dealing with death and the value of choice.

Read an excerpt

"Such passion for the truth! Forgive me, Professor Nietzsche, if I sound provocative, but we agreed to speak honestly. You talk about truth as if it were something sacred, as if you want to replace one religion with another. Allow me to play the devil’s advocate. Allow me to ask: Why such passion, such reverence for the truth? How will the truth help my patient?"

A few words about Irvin Yalom

Irvin D. Yalom is an emblematic figure in psychotherapy, known as a pioneer of existential psychotherapy. His work focuses on fundamental human concerns such as death, freedom, isolation, and the search for meaning. As an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University, he has made significant contributions to the development of group psychotherapy. Alongside his academic writings, he has also written bestselling novels, such as "When Nietzsche Wept", which masterfully combine psychology, philosophy, and storytelling. In all his works, Yalom places particular emphasis on the authentic human relationship between therapist and patient, considering it central to the healing process.
