Seize the Day
ISBN : 9780141184852
Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, lie still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos : he is separated from his wife and children, at odds with his vain, successful father, failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once placed him as "the type that loses the girl") and in a financial mess.

"Saul Bellow is one of the grants of the twentieth-century novel. Read Seize the Day and see why" Irish Times
Civilization and its discontents
ISBN : 9780141182360
In his final years, Freud devoted most of his energies to a series of highly ambitious works on the broadest issues of religion and society. As early as 1908, he produced a powerful paper on the repressive hypocrisy of " civilized sexual morality ", and its role in " modern nervous illness ". Deepening this analysis in Civilization and Its Discontents, he argues that civilized values - and the impossible ideals of Christianity-inevitably distort our natural aggression and impose a terrible burden of guilt. It is also here that Freud developed his last great theoretical innovation: the strange and haunting notion of an innate death drive, locked in a constant struggle with the forces of Eros.
