Written in the decade before Freud s death, Civilization and Its
Discontents may be his most famous and most brilliant work. It has
been praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted.
Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer several questions
fundamental to human society and its organization: What influences
led to the creation of civilization? Why and how did it come to be?
What determines civilization s trajectory? Freud s theories on the
effect of the knowledge of death on human existence and the birth
of art are central to his work. Of the various English translations
of Freud s major works to appear in his lifetime, only Norton s
Standard Edition, under the general editorship of James Strachey,
was authorized by Freud himself. This new edition includes both an
introduction by the renowned cultural critic and writer Christopher
Hitchens as well as Peter Gay s classic biographical note on
Freud."
