Synopsis "Die Heilung durch den Geist: Franz Anton Mesmer - Mary Baker-Eddy - Sigmund Freud (in German)"

Mesmer, Baker-Eddy und Freud: "Die Heilung durch den Geist" porträtiert drei Vertreter einer Bewegung, die sich überzeugt gegen die medizinische Reduzierung des Menschen auf den körperlichen Zustand stemmt. Stefan Zweig stellt sie bewusst überspitzt im Kontext ihrer Lehren und Therapiemethoden dar. Seine Auseinandersetzung mit der geistigen Selbstheilkraft des Menschen offenbart die Welt der Therapiemöglichkeiten jenseits der Schulmedizin.

(Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brazil, 1942) a very popular writer, both as an essayist and biographer as well as a novelist, he was one of the most versatile writers of the first half of the 20th century. His narrative ability, skill, and delicacy in describing feelings and the elegance of his style make him a fascinating storyteller. He was associated with the great authors of his time: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Tagore, among others. After several decades in which his works were inexplicably ignored, Zweig has been rediscovered and currently enjoys the prestige and popularity that literary justice demanded.
