The Uncanny (Penguin Classics)

Description

Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The
groundbreaking works that comprise The Uncanny present some of his most
influential explorations of the mind. In these pieces Freud investigates the
vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often “screen” deeply
uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming; and our
intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as “uncanny.” Also
included is Freud’s celebrated study of Leonardo Da Vinci-his first exercise
in psychobiography. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading
publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than
1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works
throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series
to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by
distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date
translations by award-winning translators. Read more
