Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex

Siegmund Freud

Beschreibung

In "Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex," Sigmund Freud presents a groundbreaking exploration of human sexuality, which he deftly weaves into his broader psychoanalytic theories. This seminal work delves into the complexities of sexual identity, desire, and the developmental stages of human sexuality, challenging prevailing notions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Freud's literary style is both rigorous and provocative, employing a combination of clinical case studies, theoretical discourse, and philosophical musings, all while grounding his arguments in the emerging field of psychoanalysis. The book stands as a pivotal moment in the literary context of sexual discourse and the psychology of the human mind, reshaping societal views on sexuality and its implications for mental health. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was profoundly influenced by the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time, marked by rapid advances in science, philosophy, and the arts. His clinical practice, coupled with his own introspective examinations, prompted a re-evaluation of the role of sex in human behavior and identity. Struggling against societal taboos, Freud's inquiry into sexuality reveals the intricate interplay between the unconscious mind and social norms, driving his desire to shed light on the often-ignored aspects of human experience. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of psychoanalytic thought and the evolution of sexual theory. Freud's insights remain relevant today, offering profound understandings that resonate within contemporary debates on sexuality, identity, and mental health. Readers will find themselves challenged and enriched as they engage with Freud's compelling arguments and pioneering perspective.

When Harry Met Pablo - Truman...

Matthew Algeo

Harry Truman and Pablo Picasso were contemporaries and were both shaped by and shapers of the great events of the twentieth century—the man who painted Guernica and the man who authorized the use of atomic bombs against civilians. But in most ways, they couldn’t have been more different. Picasso was a communist, and probably the only thing Truman hated more than communists was modern art. Picasso was an indifferent father, a womanizer, and a millionaire. Truman was utterly devoted to his family and, despite his fame, far from a rich man. How did they come to be shaking hands in front of Picasso’s studio in the south of France? Truman’s meeting with Picasso was quietly arranged by Alfred H. Barr Jr., the founding director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and an early champion of Picasso. Barr knew that if he could convince these two ideological antipodes, the straight-talking politician from Missouri and the Cubist painter from Málaga, to simply shake hands, it would send a powerful message, not just to reactionary Republicans pushing McCarthyism at home but to the whole world: modern art was not evil. A rigorous history with a heartwarming center, When Harry Met Pablo intertwines the biographies of Truman and Picasso, the history of modern art, and twentieth-century American politics, but at its core, it is the touching story of two old men who meet for the first time and realize they have more in common—and are more alike—than they ever imagined.

The Last Jewish Gangster: The...

David Larson

“A captivating and different kind of story” about the life of Bugsy Siegel’s godson, from the author “who captured his voice” (Nick Pileggi, author/screenwriter of Goodfellas and Casino).

In 1944 Brooklyn, newborn Michael J. Hardy is rejected by his mother so she can run with gangster Bugsy Siegel, Hardy’s godfather. Shirley Rook rose to the top of the criminal ranks. As the Queen of New York City crime, she laundered Mob money, ran the city’s largest bookmaking operation, and handed payouts to dirty cops, politicians, and judges.

To win his mother’s love and respect, Hardy became a fearless gangster. Throughout his career as a mercenary, he robbed banks and drug dealers alike, ran a kidnapping ring, and even became a hired gun. At his lowest, he ended up doing time for his mother’s counterfeiting operation in Mexico’s most dangerous prison.

Hardy’s criminal code of conduct combines elements of tough Ukrainian Jew and warm Southern Baptist, whether dealing with family and friends or fellow inmates during a combined twenty-six years spent in prisons and jails. He maintained this characteristic gregarious strength throughout his astonishing life in which Hardy was shot eleven times, committed fourteen hits for the Mob, twice wore wires for Rudy Giuliani to nab dirty cops, wrote a letter to JFK to get out of military prison, choked the Hillside Strangler, shared prison time with notorious criminals, and even spent ten years in Hollywood, cast in non-speaking roles in B-movies.

“A fascinating character study of an unapologetic criminal. David S. Larson masterfully weaves this tale in Michael Hardy’s own words, resulting in a powerful, inside story of a gangster’s life.” —Cathy Scott, Los Angeles Times-bestselling author
