Black Hamlet - Softcover
First published in 1937, “Black Hamlet” is a chronicle of physician Wulf Sachs' experiences psychoanalysing a man from a Johannesburg slum for two-and-a-half years. Originally an attempt to learn whether psychoanalysis was applicable across different cultures, Sachs' findings became so much more. “Black Hamlet” is a narrative reconstruction of one black South African's life as two worlds collide. Critically acclaimed when first published, this fascinating book will appeal to those with an interest in psychology and psychoanalysis, and it is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

About the Author:
Review:
Wulf Sachs was born in Russia and trained at the Psychoneurological Institute in St. Petersburg. A citizen of South Africa who resided in Johannesburg, he was a practicing psychoanalyst and the author of many books on psychiatry and literary criticism. Saul Dubow teaches history at the School of African and Asian Studies, University of Sussex. Jacqueline Rose teaches English at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London.
"Sachs has crossed a barrier few others have crossed and brought back with him not only a wealth of information but an absorbing story. He makes psychoanalysis a technique for a new literary experience. A perfectly straightforward account of extraordinary interest and vividness." -- London Times
"An immensely interesting work... As sheer drama, this story... has the power of Greek tragedy." -- Saturday Review of Literature
