""Lou Andreas-Salomé may seem to be a figure remote from us, one belonging to a pre-1914 Europe, but in many ways, she is our contemporary. She traveled in a highly romantic world as socialite, sociologist, and author. She was part of Georg Simmel's salon, the most exclusive in Berlin, frequented by elusive poet Stefan Georg, dramatist Paul Ernst, social theorist and polymath Max Weber, and Georg Lukács, among others. Salomé's unique contribution to the erotic was that she argued sexual difference ran deeper than economics, and equality--the politics of Marx and the ideals of the French Revolution. For Salomé, to think about women and their erotic nature, you must start with their biological and psychological difference, not their economic situation. Salomé was an outstanding theorist. Her books on Nietzsche and on Rilke are major studies. The field of psychoanalysis would not have developed in the way it did without Lou Andreas-Salomé. We cannot understand Freud's "rationalism" or his anti-religious sensibility without Salomé's writings. This new English translation is an essential text of psychoanalysis, one that shaped the very conception of the field."--Publisher's website."

"Freud nannte sie bewundernd die 'Dichterin der Psychoanalyse': Lou Andreas-Salomé vermochte es, psychoanalytische Themen in Poesie zu verwandeln. Hierfür gibt es kein besseres Beispiel als ihr Werk "Die Erotik". Untersucht wird die Erotik als Schnittpunkt von Leiblichem und Geistigem. Andreas-Salomés Gedankengang ist lebhaft und streckenweise fast philosophisch, ihre Formulierungen von stilistischer Schönheit. Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937) war Schriftstellerin und Psychoanalytikerin. Schon in jungen Jahren war sie eine Berühmtheit in deutschen Gelehrten- und Künstlerkreisen, war mit Philosop."
