Born in Frankfurt-am-Main, Erich Fromm (1900-1980) studied sociology and psychoanalysis. In 1933, he emigrated as a member of the Frankfurt School of social thinkers to the United States, moved to Mexico in 1950, and spent his twilight years between 1974 and 1980 in Switzerland. His books Fear of Freedom (1941) and The Art of Loving (1956) made him famous. Other well-known books are Marx's Concept of Man, Beyond the Chains of Illusion, and The Essential Fromm.
"This splendid volume is a welcome addition to Fromm's published
legacy. Instructive foreword by the editor; bibliography;
index."--Choice
"Fromm's large, keen mind and attractive, likable voice strive for
heart as he asks himself the hardest questions of his day."--Kirkus
