By the time Freud was vigorously challenged by Michel Onfray, this book takes us into the archeology of psychoanalysis. The author is a goldsmith! The process of a fictitious encounter between Joseph Breuer and Friedrich Nietzsche's fun. With some art of psychological suspense, the story of a mental manipulation which turns against its author. The secondary characters are not the least interesting (Lou Andreas-Salomé and Anna O. aka Bertha Pappenheim). You want to know more about these muses, without which all the rest would be of little interest. Do not expect to learn much about psychoanalysis, too quickly reduced to a "chimney sweeping." There laps in the endless game of chess and a process part, which does not necessarily make you want, at least immediately, to read other books by Irvin Yalom, if the same water . The pleasant impression of being entered in the privacy of the protagonists is surely misleading, but we will still have a few good moments in this imaginary and labyrinthine pageant.
