This book contains, relatively speaking, the most "scandalous" works of Sigmund Freud, united by the theme of violation of cultural and sexual taboos and for the first time in the history of psychology raising issues of child sexuality, male narcissism and male fetishism, the negatization of carnal love and the "tragedy of virginity and deflation." Once upon a time, these articles were shocking. Now they have long been recognized as classics of psychoanalysis.
