Erotica

Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861–1937) — writer, philosopher, and psychoanalyst. She was one of the most intelligent, insightful, and painfully captivating women of the turn of the century. Lou was never afraid to acknowledge her eternal apprenticeship, continuing her path of knowledge and self-discovery until her death, as if following the words of her friend F. Nietzsche: “Become who you are!” Our collection includes her psychoanalytic articles, including the most famous “Erotica,” which was reissued multiple times during her lifetime. In addition to academic works, the reader can become acquainted with Lou Salomé's astonishing memories of close friends — F. Nietzsche, R. M. Rilke, Z. Freud.
