Baron Bagge, a cavalry officer stationed in Eastern Europe during
the First World War, receives orders to ride into a platoon of
Russian machine guns. But instead of meeting certain death, he and
his brigade pass, unscathed, into a bizarrely peaceful land where
festivities are in full swing. There he meets Charlotte
Szent-Kiraly, and finds himself falling in a strange, enchanted
love - a love harrowed at its edges by the threat of the enemy, and
the peculiar fragility of this country's otherworldly peace . . .
Originally published in the UK in 1956, this book presents the
essence of the political philosophy of one of Europe’s best-known
post-war statesmen, as well as his experience in government as head
of Germany in one of its most critical periods of history. The role
of Germany in a (then) new Europe is discussed, along with its
rearmament, its greatly restored economic power and its relation to
NATO. Germany’s Chancellor gives his views on the world struggle,
the cold war, Germany and America, Germany and Israel and the
difficulties and responsibilities of the alliance of free nations.

Even in the degradation and misery of Dachau concentration camp,
Viktor Frankl retained the belief that the most important freedom
of all is the freedom to determine one's own spiritual well-being.
He wrote the international bestseller Man's Search for Meaning as a
result of that experience, while in The Doctor and the Soul, Dr
Frankl revolutionised psychotherapy with his theory of Logotherapy.
Viktor Frankl's work has been described as "the most important
contributions in the field of psychotherapy since the days of
Freud, Adler and Jung." In The Doctor and the Soul, Dr Frankl
maintains that the individual's most important need is to find
meaning in life and the frustration of this need results in
neurosis, suffering and despair. A doctor's work lies in finding
personal meaning in a patient's life, no matter how dismal the
circumstances of the life.

Described as 'a masterpiece' by Stefan Zweig, this extraordinary
novel of love, war, ghosts and memory features an introduction by
Patti Smith Baron Bagge, a cavalry officer in the Carpathian
Mountains during the First World War, receives orders from his
unhinged commander to ride into Russian machine guns. But instead
of meeting certain death, he and his brigade pass, unscathed, into
a peaceful, otherworldly country where festivities are in full
swing. There he meets Charlotte Szent-Kiraly, and finds himself
entangled in a strange love - a love harrowed at its edges by the
threat of the enemy, and intimations from his fellow officers about
the nature of his survival... Baron Bagge - Alexander
Lernet-Holenia's masterpiece - glimmers with a wintry, exquisite
light. A story of duty and desire, courage and stupidity, it is a
waking dream of a novel; haunting in every sense. This edition
includes an exchange between Lernet-Holenia and Stefan Zweig, one
of the novella's most stalwart champions. Preface by Patti Smith
Translated by Richard and Clara Winston
An autobiography put together from conversations, writings and lectures with Jung's cooperation, at the end of his life.

In an effort to save a boy wrongly accused, a group of young friends living in ancient Rome search for the culprit who scrawled graffiti on the temple wall.
Erich Kahler sees cultural history as a subtle process in which
reality plays upon consciousness and consciousness itself is
forever transforming reality. He traces the ebb and flow of this
relationship by studying changes in narrative form from its
beginnings in the Gilgamesh Cycle to the end of the eighteenth
century. The general direction is toward a growing inwardness, he
finds; what takes place is an expansion of consciousness as man
constantly draws outer space, the contents of a more and more
complex world, into what Rilke called Weltinnenraum, "inner space."

"The ultimate of human happiness is to be found in contemplation".
In offering this proposition of Thomas Aquinas to our thought,
Josef Pieper uses traditional wisdom in order to throw light on
present-day reality and present-day psychological problems. What,
in fact, does one pursue in pursuing happiness? What, in the
consensus of the wisdom of the early Greeks, of Plato and
Aristotle, of the New Testament, of Augustine and Aquinas, is that
condition of perfect bliss toward which all life and effort tend by
nature?
In this profound and illuminating inquiry, Pieper considers the
nature of contemplation, and the meaning and goal of life.

213EDITORIAL PREFACEDESPITE Freuds personal frankness in
hiswritings he retained a deep inner reserve andso is likely to
remain a man of mystery to futuregenerations, who will greatly like
to understandwhat manner of mind it was that was able unaidedto
penetrate so profoundly into its own secrets andinto those of
humanity. Any scraps of information, therefore, concerning his
remarkable personalitywill be welcome, and the present book
providessome of undoubted interest. Dr. Reik throws lighton several
aspects of Freuds personality, amongwhich special attention may be
called to the convincing evidence of Freuds fundamental hopefulness
and the falsity of designating him a pessimist.The author would be
the last to deny that theglimpses he gives us are but partial ones,
and thathe does not pretend to paint a complete picture. Hewould
further, I am sure, admit that the passageofyears has brought an
increasing risk of strengtheningthe subjective factor in some of
his judgements andpossibly also in his memories. Two little
instancesoccur to me. He says that after Freuds serious illnessthe
only thing noticeable was that he cleared histhroat when he
lectured. In fact, Freud neverlectured after that date and only on
one occasiondid he ever even attend a meeting of the
Society.Clearing the throat was a habit he had always hadwhat the
illness brought was the difficulty of articulation. The second
instance concerns Dr. Reiksquoting Freuds prohibiting the
celebration of hisEDITORIAL PREFACEseventieth birthday with the
remark, alluding toKarl Abrahams recent death, one cannot celebrate
with a corpse in the house. In fact there wasan important
celebration of that birthday I wentto Vienna myself to attend it.
And Freuds birthdaywas in May, while Abraham had died in the
previousDecember. If Dr. Reiks memory is correct aboutFreuds
remark, then it is certainly not to be takenas an expression of
conventional piety on Freudspartthis would have been not in the
least characteristic of himbut as an illustration of the way
hewould snatch at any pretext to avoid, or at leastminimise, a
ceremonial occasion.While, therefore, we are grateful to Dr.
