When Nietzsche Wept

A Novel Of Obsession (P.S.)

Irvin D. Yalom

A compelling blend of fact and fiction, this novel set in 19th century Vienna tells the story of a secret pact between Europe's greatest philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, and one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, Josef Breuer. As Breuer attempts to use his experimental "talking cure" to save Nietzsche from suicidal despair, he confronts his own inner demons and discovers the redemptive power of friendship.
