This book was published in Switzerland in its original German in 1956, and reviewed in This QUARTERLY, XXVI, 1957, pp. 416-419. It is most gratifying that this translation has now made it accessible to an English-speaking audience. It is unique in its presentation of Freud's personality as illustrated by the correspondence between Freud and his younger friend over a period of more than twenty-five years. The translation is adequate on the whole, although it does not always do justice to the beauty and charm of Freud's style.
The book is enriched by several plates of facsimilies of Freud's letters and a very useful index.
