“A Dream of Undying Fame is a probing, elegant and balanced book. Louis Breger shows how Freudâ€™s traumatic childhood shaped his ambitious, detached and authoritarian personality, and led to the betrayal of his mentor, Josef Breuer. Bregerâ€™s analysis exposes a fascinating paradox: Freud both invented psychoanalysis and impoverished its development. A must-read for everyone interested in how ideas can change the world.”

I've come up with a fantastic little device which I'll call a box of matches.”
“The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written; it has emptied more churches than all the counterattractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course.”
