'Astonishing... In the American journalist Andrew Nagorski this
tale has found its ideal narrator' SEBASTIAN FAULKS, Sunday Times
'[A] thrilling book, as edge-of-your-seat gripping as any heist
movie' Kathryn Hughes, Guardian Book of the Day 'A gripping
masterpiece' BRETT KAHR, Freud Museum London March 1938: German
soldiers are massing on the Austrian border, on the cusp of
fulfilling Hitler's dream of absorbing the country into the Third
Reich. Many Jews make frantic plans to flee to safety. But one of
the most famous men in the world, unable to contemplate leaving his
beloved Vienna, is not among them. His name is Sigmund Freud.
Saving Freud is the story of a great man's life, and of the
extraordinary people who managed to prolong it, by convincing him
to escape to London: the Welsh physician who brought psychoanalysis
to Britain; Napoleon's great-grandniece; an American ambassador;
Freud's devoted daughter, Anna; and the doctor who risked his own
life by staying at Freud's side. In examining the histories of both
Freud and his closest circle, Andrew Nagorski brilliantly evokes
the story of Europe in the first half of the Twentieth Century.
This is a tale of a great city, a collapsing empire, a rising
terror -and of a man who would change the way we think.
