{"product_id":"the-freud-scenario-9781844677726","title":"The Freud Scenario","description":"In 1958, the US director John Huston asked Jean-Paul Sartre to write a scenario for a film about Sigmund Freud. Huston wanted Sartre to concentrate on the conflict-ridden period of Freud's life when he abandoned hypnosis and invented psychoanalysis. \u003ci\u003eThe Freud Scenario\u003c\/i\u003e, discovered in Sartre's papers after his death, is the result--a deft portrait of a man engaged in a personal and intellectual struggle that would prove a turning point in twentieth-century thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSartre did not regard this script as a diversion from his larger intellectual project. Freud's preoccupations with female hysteria and the father relationship touched on major themes in his own work, and \u003ci\u003eLoser Wins\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Family Idiot\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWords\u003c\/i\u003e, some of Sartre's most celebrated publications, are all in some way derived from his work for Huston. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten for a Hollywood audience, \u003ci\u003eThe Freud Scenario\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that, in addition to a towering intellect, Sartre enjoyed a genuine popular touch. Already widely acclaimed in France, \u003ci\u003eThe Freud Scenario\u003c\/i\u003e stands as a valuable testament to two of the most influential minds in modern history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Paul Sartre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844677726","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446858875017,"sku":"9781844677726","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_58f00ceb-08a5-4c9e-a21d-36242ca9a1a5.jpg?v=1741683879","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-freud-scenario-9781844677726","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
