Prophets Without Honour: Freud, Kafka, Einstein, and Their World

by Frederic V Grunfeld

Prophets Without Honour: Freud, Kafka, Einstein, and Their World Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Prophets Without Honour is the collective biography of some ot the era's extraordinary minds — Kafka, Einstein, Mahler, and Freud, as well as many lesser known, though by no means less important or impressive, thinkers, such as Walter Benjamin, Carl Sternheim, and Else Lasker-Schüler. Waving together each of their stories into a colorful mosaic, Grunfeld brings these thinkers and their world to life, citing anecdotes that make evident their frustration and their pain.
