Whilst the blurb claims that the book focuses on these high profile child abuse cases, the author seems desperate to take any excuse to write about anything else. Long, rambling diversions into the careers and ancestry of any public figure who can be referenced along with lengthy descriptions of Viennese life and culture are occasionally punctuated by short passages on the abuse cases that the book is supposedly about. Coming to this from a true crime rather than Viennese history interest, I was bored and frustrated into a DNF. If 'Freud's Vienna' interests you this may be your thing but if you were interested in these crimes primarily, forget it. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
On the cusp of the twentieth century, in the most cosmopolitan city in the world, there a sensation that entranced the city's populace as nothing had before--a sensation that cast a great and disturbing shadow over the city, and then vanished, leaving no more trace than a shadow would. Child Abuse in Freud's Vienna is the story of that forgotten sensation in this fabled city. In the autumn of 1899, Vienna's attention was focused not on its extraordinary cultural life, but on child abuse--specifically, two cases of child murder and two of abuse. While Sigmund Freud was anxiously awaiting the publication of The Interpretation of Dreams, in which he first theorized about the Oedipal hostilities between parents and children, every day's headlines proclaimed the ugly reality of child abuse. Focusing on the four cases that dominated the pages of the newspapers, Larry Wolff's riveting narrative paints a picture of a great city enthralled by a spectacle it desperately wished to ignore.
