Ralph Steadman wields his shrewd wit and fierce pen to highlight the movements of Freud's life and career, from early childhood to the moment of death. </p><p> But there's a twist. Through a masterful interplay of text and illustration, each scene is transformed into a <i>"joking situation,"</i> which the artist hilariously examines according to the techniques discussed by Freud himself in his 1905 book, <i>Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious</i>. The result is a fantastic Freudian festival of visual and verbal puns, unexpected insights, and sheer intellectual enjoyment. </p><p> Originally published in hardcover in 1979, released in paperback in 1997, and now back in print, <b>Sigmund Freud</b> is superbly illustrated with more than 50 major drawings and 25 vignettes. It remains one of the most original illustrated books of our times and a Ralph Steadman classic. </p> 222601 1979 Sigmund Freud total:20|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:0|1:0| 20 83 35 2 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Thu Jun 11 11:39:52 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 09:38:52 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Tue Jul 22 09:13:18 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 09:54:35 -0700 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 5 0 false Fri Oct 16 04:39:19 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 04:39:19 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Sun Sep 27 09:31:31 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 09:31:31 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Wed Sep 16 17:48:54 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 17:48:54 -0700 2009 2325630 0448229803 9780448229805 1 0 4.15 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2325630.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Mon Aug 31 14:49:40 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:49:40 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Tue Aug 11 13:34:15 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 13:34:15 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Mon Jun 08 12:30:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 12:32:58 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Sat Jun 06 10:57:05 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 10:57:05 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Thu Apr 30 12:46:48 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 12:46:48 -0700 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Sat Feb 28 15:19:32 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 15:19:32 -0800 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Sat Feb 28 09:03:54 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 09:03:54 -0800 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 5 0 false Thu Jan 29 17:20:55 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 17:20:55 -0800 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 2 0 false Sun Jan 11 07:00:07 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 07:00:07 -0800 2009 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 5 0 false Mon Dec 01 09:06:07 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 09:06:07 -0800 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Sat Sep 06 12:03:15 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 12:03:15 -0700 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 4 0 false Sat Jul 19 09:07:56 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 09:07:56 -0700 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Sun Jul 13 16:04:29 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 16:04:29 -0700 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 3 0 false Fri Jun 13 12:15:56 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 12:15:56 -0700 2008 229863 1552091740 9781552091746 19 2 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172906215m/229863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/229863.Sigmund_Freud 0 0 false Sun May 18 17:06:17 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 17:06:17 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=229863
