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.
