One of Freud’s central achievements was to demonstrate howunacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into theunconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influenceover our lives. This volume contains a key statement about evidencefor the unconscious, and how it works, as well as major essays onall the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how weare torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle,how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we mostfear, and why certain men need fetishes for their sexualsatisfaction. His study of our most basic drives, and how they aretransformed, brilliantly illuminates the nature of sadism,masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

This collection of writings is famous for giving us the phrase'Freudian slip'. It also builds up a strong social history ofVienna and the middle-class social milieu of Freud and hispatients. Through a series of case histories, some no longer than afew lines long, Freud explores how it is that normal people makeslips of speech, writing, reading and remembering in their everydaylife, and reveals what it is that they betray about the existenceof a sub-text or subliminal motive to our conscious actions. As heexplains, most of these slips tend of be of a relatively anodynenature, but some are a little more sinister, particularly thosewhere pride or thwarted love are concerned...
How do we see the world around us? "The Penguin on Design"series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings onart, design and the media have changed our vision forever. SusanSontag's groundbreaking critique of photography asks forcefulquestions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this artform. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock,idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as amemorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or toidentify us. In six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways inwhich we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense ofreality and authority in our lives.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves- and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now PENGOIN brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. The Meditations of the great Roman philosophere-emperor Marcus Aurelius are simple yet profound works of Stoic philosophy that continue to offer guidance and consolation to many with their eloquence,wisdom and humility.
The first edition of The Interpretation of Dreams is muchshorter than its subsequent editions; each time the text wasreissued, from 1909 onwards, Freud added to it. The mostsignificant, and in many ways the most unfortunate addition, is a50-page section devoted to the kind of mechanical reading of dreamsymbolism--long objects equal male genitalia, etc.--that has gainedpopular currency and partially obscured Freud's more profoundinsights into dreams. In the original version presented here,Freud's emphasis falls more clearly on the use of words in dreamsand on the difficulty of deciphering them. Without the strata oflater additions, readers will find here a clearer development ofFreud's central ideas--of dream as wish-fulfillment, of the dream'smanifest and latent content, of the retelling of dreams as acontinuation of the dreamwork, and much more. Joyce Crick'stranslation is lighter and faster-moving than previous versions,enhancing the sense of dialogue with the reader, one of Freud'ssyllogistic strengths, a
After his father's early death Jean-Paul Sartre was brought upat his grandfather's home in a world even then eighty years out ofdate. In "Words", Sartre recalls growing up within the confines ofFrench provincialism in the period before the First World War, anillusion-ridden childhood made bearable by his lively imaginationand passion for reading and writing. A brilliant work ofself-analysis, "Words" provides an essential background to thephilosophy of one of the profoundest thinkers of the twentiethcentury.

Andy Warhol kept these diaries faithfully from November 1976right up to his final week, in February 1987. Written at the heightof his fame and success, Warhol records the fun of an AcademyAwards party, nights out at Studio 54, trips between London, Parisand New York, and surprisingly even the money he spent each day,down to the cent. With appearances from and references to everyonewho was anyone, from Jim Morrison, Martina Navratilova and CalvinKlein to Shirley Bassey, Estee Lauder and Muhammad Ali, thesediaries are the most glamorous, witty and revealing writings of thetwentieth century.
In his autobiography, published in 1975, the private AndyWarhol talks about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money,success; about New York and America; and about himself - hischildhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, good times and bad times inthe Big Apple, the explosion of his career in the Sixties, and lifeamong celebrities.
These works were written against a background of war andracism. Freud sought the sources of conflict in the deepestmemories of humankind, finding clear continuities between our'primitive' past and 'civilized' modernity. In "Totem and Taboo",he explores institutions of tribal life, tracing analogies betweenthe rites of hunter-gatherers and the obsessions of urban-dwellers,while "Mourning and Melancholia" sees a similarly self-destructivesavagery underlying individual life in the modern age, which issuesat times in self-harm and suicide. And Freud's extraordinary letterto Einstein, Why War? - Rejecting what he saw as the physicist'snaive pacifism - sums up his unsparing view of history in a fewprofoundly pessimistic, yet grimly persuasive pages.
