Erich Fromm: His Life And Ideas

Fromm's work (1900-1980) is more compelling and popular in our century than ever before. It took a decisive turn as he encountered Freudian psychoanalysis - even as Fromm critiqued it throughout much of his lifetime.

Funk covers with great sensitivity Fromm's seminal work with the so-called Frankfurt School of social critics as well as his break with it, his move to the US seeking refuge from the Nazis, his personal and professional relationship with Karen Horney, his associations with The New School in New York City as well as with DT Suzuki - living in Mexico "part time".

Fromm's timeless world view is also seen through more than 200 photographs and other memorabilia that help make up this compelling pictorial biography.
