It's realistically interesting this book published by Marsilio Hypnos
I start to tell you that I find fascinating hypnosis. I read Milton Erikson, I read Freud and Jung in my teen-age age, although after that I read this book I concluded that I wouldn't never want to end up in the wrong hands and minds, because hypnosis is too delicate and I hadn't never taken in consideration an abuse of this important pshychiatric tool for horrible gestures.
Second because this story is an intersection of stories in the History.
We are in Wien, Austria. It's January 1889.
Sigmund Freud is an affirmed yet misunderstood, psychologist and hypnotist, and Rudolph the son of Emperor Franz Joseph and Sissi is just found dead in the locality of Mayerling with his lover Maria Vetzera.
The main theory, I read a lot about Sissi, her family, Ludwig II, and the story of the end of Rudolph opens a shocking scenario, I start to tell you this.
I just hope that this theory is invented, because I still prefer to think that Rudolph killed himself than not to seeing ruined in my mind the imagine of Franz Joseph or Sissi.
The portrait of the society is accurate.
Rudolph like many other young men of the time, rich, powerful and beauty, loved also to enjoying his time with a lot of prostitutes and some of them, because of an orgy, were been invited also at Mayerling. Once that Rudolph and Maria Vetzera were found dead it was necessary to close once and for all the mouths of that girls.
That ones had to be killed. As quickest as possible, because they couldn't report what realistically happened to Rudolph and Maria.
The dirty job was commissioned at a man called in code Hypnos. A secret agent inspired by the theories of Nietzsche, Hypnos had the capacity of hypnotizing people for later killing them without letting them feel any pain. A dangerous consolation. In particular he inserted inside the body of the victims a tool that, once opened caused a heavy, devastating bleeding.
In this scenario we find two twin, Friedrich and Sabine Schwartz. Schwartz is an important member of the police.
Their union is so close that people in Wien start to whisper.
They are both beautiful and attracting and in general they tend to go out together.
They lived a shocking experience when they were little and at the moment the sister is like paralyzed. One of his arm is rigid. She avoids every contact with men, because sexually blocked by what lived once little.
An hysteric case, treated by Sigmund Freud. Freud in fact discovered also thanks to numerous autoptic exams that there weren't any kind of damages in the brains of women for that sort of "physical pain." Sufferance was producted by the subject, because not able to metabolize the sufferance that she was living with.
Freud understands that there has been a violence in the existence of Sabine, but what Sabine will become will be the fruit of a pure devil.
I find realistically true the description of the feelings felt by victims of a violence in childhood age.
Great intensity, this one is also an erotic book, where everyone wants to make love for pleasure, for desperation, because frustrated, because bored, but surely no one is tired of it.
Sometimes I found this treat too much obsessive, but after all, if most of human problems are caused by sex and what it meant in little age for kids, this choices is not surprising.
The book will also treat, marginally, the story of Jack the Ripper. Another cold case, a faceless murder.
Highly recommended.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
