Synopsis

Why do we love each other but cannot bring up the "sexuality"? Why do families always feel depressed despite having a harmonious family? Why does the shadow of first love always linger? Why do some people only have feelings for people of the opposite sex who are older than them? These questions will be perfectly answered in the process of reading "Three Essays on Sexuality". "Three Essays on Sexuality" is the foundation work of Freud, the master of psychology. It is also a straightforward and easy-to-read "sexual enlightenment book" written for all adults. This edition of "Three Essays on Sexuality" is the only German-Chinese translation so far, and the entire text is unabridged. After reading it, Professor Li Yinhe of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences praised: "The translator's Chinese writing is concise and beautiful, making people unable to put it down. If anyone wants to read this book, I will certainly recommend this translation." Afterwards, she specially wrote a long introduction to the book to clear up readers' doubts. This introduction is included exclusively in this edition.

Reader comments

This book is a milestone or the originator of sexology. However, some of the views in the book will inevitably conflict with our education, concepts, morals and other factors. However, it is undeniable that this book is still a treasure for mankind.

It provides a new perspective for understanding "sex" and also points out the conflict between sex and society. It is a bit strange for people who are professional and have no psychological foundation to read, such as me, but it is undeniable that this is a classic.

As Professor Li Yinhe said, this translation is very easy to read, and some of Freud's views are really classic! However, I think this book is not only about sex, but also made me think about some of the confusion and curiosity we have when we grow up. It made me understand that there are still many unknown areas in our understanding of ourselves and the world that we need to explore!

It's okay. Although some of the views seem wrong now, it's still a good book and worth reading.
