{"product_id":"1171-the-freud-scenario","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"paperback","offer_id":55573603090756,"sku":"9781844677726","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nk3zgn-gy.myshopify.com\/products\/1171-the-freud-scenario","provider":"Book Tide Pavilion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
