Traumprotokolle

Inhalt

Adorno was fascinated by his dreams and wrote them down throughout his life. He envisaged publishing a collection of them although in the event no more than a few appeared in his lifetime. The present publication provides a selection covering the last twenty-five years of his life. Readers of Adorno who are accustomed to high-powered reflections on philosophy, music, and culture may well find them disconcerting: they provide an amazingly frank and uninhibited account of his inner desires, guilt feelings and anxieties. Brothel scenes, torture and executions figure prominently.
