This was the beginning of an interchange of ideas which lasted up to Freud's death in 1939. The topics discussed throughout the years remained constant: their work as writers, psychoanalysis, the anguishing escalation of the Jewish problem, leading to Zweig's emigration to Israel~then still Palestine in the early thirties, and to Freud's uprooting from his famous home in Vienna on the Berggasse in 1938. The two men exchanged books and manuscripts and discussed their work in progress~notably Freud's Moses and Monotheism. Freud's responses to the professional writer show an astonishing understanding of the art of writing. Equally impressive are Freud's wry and remarkably acute prognostications of political developments, which he saw with unblinking pessimism tinged with civilized humor. Two well~matched minds and complementary temperaments here communicate with complete openness and warmth, in intimate letters not written with an eye to posterity and for this very reason engrossing and revealing.
