Synopsis
"Steadman's text here is as witty as his drawings, both illustrating not only Freud's classification of jokes, but also the events of Freud's life "
--The North Carolina Review of Books
"Earlier chapters of Freud's life, characterized by intellectual as well as physical vigorousness aided by the 19th-century 'miracle drug' of cocaine, give the illustrator rich material to work with "
--Open Culture
One genius takes on another
In what is a thoroughly atypical biography, Ralph Steadman examines Freud using his 1905 book The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious to illustrate his points with 75 illustrations The result is a masterful interplay of text and illustration, visual and verbal puns, and unexpected insight
Sigmund Freud bursts defiantly and gleefully beyond the bounds of orthodox biography It is a wildly humorous exercise in bending, stretching and speculating on the activities of the so-called Father of Psychoanalysis Ralph Steadman wields his shrewd wit and fierce pen to highlight the ebbs and tides of Freud's life and career from early childhood to the moment of death
But there's a twist Rich illustrations and witty text work hand in hand to transform each scene into a "joking situation," which the artist hilariously examines according to the techniques wielded by Freud himself in his 1905 book on humor and the unconscious mind The result is a fantastic Freudian festival of visual and verbal puns, unexpected insights, and sheer intellectual enjoyment
Originally published in hardcover in 1979, released in paperback in 1997, and reprinted numerous times since then, we are presenting it again to remind buyers that Freud has not and will not leave the unconscious mind of the public (and he would likely have something to say about what books they buy)
Sigmund Freud is superbly illustrated with more than 50 major drawings and 25 vignettes by a renowned master of the pen It remains one of the most original illustrated books of our times and a Ralph Steadman classic
