This work of investigative journalism chronicles the contentious battle over Sigmund Freud's private papers and the interpretations of his life's work. It uncovers the intricate web of academic rivalries, personal agendas, and intellectual disputes that surrounded the custodians of the Freudian legacy. Malcolm's incisive prose presents a compelling and often unsettling examination of biography itself, questioning the objectivity and motivations of those who seek to define historical figures. The narrative illustrates the profound impact of archival control on historical understanding and the construction of public memory. This compelling account offers a critical perspective on the ethics of scholarship and the enduring power of myth-making in intellectual circles.
