An extraordinary collection of thematically linked essays, including THE UNCANNY, SCREEN MEMORIES and FAMILY ROMANCES.
Leonardo da Vinci fascinated Freud primarily because he was keen to know why his personality was so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. In this probing biographical essay he deconstructs both da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius. As ever, many of his exploratory avenues lead to the subject's sexuality - why did da Vinci depict the naked human body the way hedid? What of his tendency to surround himself with handsome young boys that he took on as his pupils? Intriguing, thought-provoking and often contentious, this volume contains some of Freud's best writing.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The major pieces collected here explore the vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often 'screen' far more uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming; and our intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as 'uncanny'. His insights into the roots of artistic expression in the triangular 'family romances' (of father, mother and infant) that so dominate our early lives reveal the artistry of Freud's own writing. And his celebrated study of Leonardo, Freud's first exercise in psycho-biography, brilliantly uses a single memory to reveal the childhood conflicts behind both Leonardo's remarkable achievements and his striking eccentricity. Features Leonardo da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius. This book explores his sexuality - 'why did da Vinci depict the naked human body the way he did?' and 'What of his tendency to surround himself with handsome young boys that he took on as his pupils?
