The life of Freud written by his own hands

The diary of Sigmund Freud is a great opportunity to learn more about the everyday life of the father of psychoanalysis written by his own hands. You get to know the man behind the genius. In fact, day after day Freud described his activities, big and little challenges and above all his terrible disease that affected him during his last years. It is a book packed with historical pictures that you are not likely to find anywhere else. I think people who like biographies can really appreciate this work as Freud took notes of what seemed important and very shortly described the events. Thanks to the Freud Museums curators each little note is well explained to give readers the opportunity to build up Freud's everyday life during his last ten year of his life. The book is also a rich source of historical information.
