Y2K! The world waits anxiously to see what millennial mischief
crops up. But at Basic Books the year 2000 is cause for
celebration. Fifty years ago Basic was founded as a home for works
by outstanding scholars on topics of wide importance and broad
general interest. Over the years our authors have inspired and
informed, pleased and provoked generations of readers; indeed, many
Basic titles have changed the very culture from which they emerged.
To commemorate our fiftieth year, we are proudly reissuing a
selection of our most distinguished books from the last
half-century. Here, in brand new packages, with new introductions
and editorial comments by leading contemporary figures, are ten
exemplars of the intellectual vigor that is the hallmark of Basic
Books: classic titles by John Bowlby, Sigmund Freud, Josef Breuer,
Claude Levi-Strauss, James Q. Wilson, Clifford Geertz, and Michael
Walzer. That books like these remain in print is itself a testament
to their enduring value. By calling attention to their sustained
presence we hope to introduce new readers to landmark works that
will continue to roil cultural waters for decades to come.
Freud's groundbreaking, trouble-making theory of sexuality --
infantile (developmental), adolescent (transformational), and
deviant -- in the classic Strachey translation, with a new foreword
by Nancy Chodorow, who re-animates it from the postmodern
perspectives of feminist psychoanalysis and the sociology of
gender.
