When Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom

4.0

Recommended by a dear friend, this has been a real pleasure. I look forward to other Yalom books. Historical fiction set in 1880s Vienna. A very young medical student named Freud appears, and his mentor, an established doctor who dabbles in mind cures finds himself treating Frederich Nietzsche. An intriguing look at the development of psychology and dream analysis - all set amid a real world of Viennese life and building anti-semitism. Nearly done and loved it.
