Description
Beyond the Chains of Illusion
The Golden Bough has been translated by Dar Al-Hiwar
First published in 1962 and long unavailable, tle Book is only at first glance, a book about Marx and Freud–those two intellectual giants of the 20th century.
Fromm here shows himself an outstanding interpreter of Marx.
In all, Fromm’s re-creation of the Freudian and Marxist way of thinking is, essentially, a look at the individual and society.
BEYOND THE CHAINS OF ILLUSION will introduce many of today’s readers to unknown aspects of Marx and Freud, as it also serves as a unique introduction to the life and mind of Erich Fromm as well.
A new foreword by Fromm Literary Executor Rainer Funk puts this book into historic context and high relief.
He then proceeds to a unique and brilliant analysis of Freudian and Marxist theory.
Throughout, Fromm shows how a sound understanding of both the father of modern psychotherapy and the father of 20th-century communism can lead to a single body of knowledge.
This book has the quality of good literature: it is news that stays news, and thereby sheds light on Erich Fromm’s thinking during a seminal period of his life
. Continuum International is the publisher of other classic works by Erich Fromm (1900-1980), including The Art of Loving, To Have Or to Be?,
On Being Human, The Essential Fromm, Marx’s Concept of Man, as well as Rainer Funk’s photo-biography Erich Fromm: His Life and Ideas.
