Freud - Architect of Happiness

In The Architect of Happiness, Zweig traces Freud's works, which started from his student years and had a wide repercussion, first throughout Europe and then throughout the world. By literally taking a photograph of pre-Freudian Europe, he presents a portrait of a spiritually "sick Europe" and argues that these sick souls were liberated through Freud's works, which he describes as "revolution". While Zweig draws attention to Freud's starting point, he also examines the impact of this young physician's studies on the unconscious world, the interpretation of dreams, psychoanalysis and sexuality. The Architect of Happiness is a unique book that brings together two great names in one book and reads like a novel...

“One does not know where to begin in praising Zweig's works.”

─ Ali Smith

“Zweig is a writer who has a very good grasp of the life he describes and has extraordinary analytical skills.”

─ The New York Review of Books

“Zweig's texts are proof of his love for people.”

─ London Review of Books

“Zweig is the most adult of all writers; civilized, well-mannered, but never jaded or cynical. Zweig is a realist who believes that empathy is possible – necessary – despite everything.”

─ Independent
