A not very detailed psycho-analysis of a novel by Victor Fleischer, bearing the above mentioned title, the story of a retired high official who
spends all his time and a legacy on collecting medals. Meeting a young expert he becomes obsessed by the fear of the superiority and arrogance of the young man and, afraid of a crushing judgment, does not want to show him his collection. The analysis of the novel points out the analerotic character traits showing themselves in the passion for collecting. It follows the lines shewn by Freud and Jones.
