Abstract

Eissler translates a letter which Freud wrote for a brochure published in 1907, entitled, Vom Lesen und von guten Büchern, which included contributions by other prominent persons of that period. Freud comments that he does not name the ten 'most magnificent' works or the ten 'most significant' books, but lists the following as ten 'good books':

Multatuli: Briefe und Werk.

Kipling: Jungle Book.

Anatole France: Sur la pierre blanche.

Zola: Fécondité.

Merejkowsky: Leonardo da Vinci.

G. Keller: Leute von Seldwyla.

C. F. Meyer: Huttens letzte Tage.

Macaulay: Essays.

Gomperz: Griechische Denker.
