Book Synopsis The Uncanny by : Sigmund Freud

Download or read book The Uncanny written by Sigmund Freud and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The groundbreaking works that comprise The Uncanny present some of his most influential explorations of the mind. In these pieces Freud investigates the vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often "screen" deeply uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming; and our intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as "uncanny." Also included is Freud's celebrated study of Leonardo Da Vinci-his first exercise in psychobiography.
