"I can't tell anyone, so I tell everyone", wrote Frigyes Karinthy1 in one of his poems, lending his voice to all those who hide silently behind their actions before deciding to take up a pen and expose their thoughts. To be able to do this, to "tell everyone", one has to ignore the time-honoured adage: "A secret life is a happy life". But the desire to "have one's say" triumphs over the fear of confronting the world with all its dangers, real or imaginary. A psychoanalyst who undertakes to go over the course of her professional life and presents the ideas connected with it will, of course, revive certain memories. To be able to speak about herself, the analyst, like everyone else, must overcome some resistance. Analytic practice is based on the ability to listen, to remain attentive to the other. However, an analyst can only listen to those who come to him in search of themselves if he listens to himself. Immersion into the patient's past causes his own past to resurface. By changing the internal narration, the analysis makes it possible to carve out a place for oneself in the world. The psychoanalyst chooses this practice out of a desire to understand, but as the author of the present work points out, at times he must also be able to accept his own inability to understand, or the fact that he may misunderstand. The practice of psychoanalysis gives rise to questions formulated in discussions with colleagues.

Aus dem Buch: "Bei seinem großen Interesse für die englische Nation hatte Goethe mich ersucht, die hier anwesenden jungen Engländer ihm nach und nach vorzustellen. Heute um fünf Uhr erwartete er mich mit dem englischen Ingenieuroffizier Herrn H., von welchem ich ihm vorläufig viel Gutes hatte sagen können. Wir gingen also zur bestimmten Stunde hin und wurden durch den Bedienten in ein angenehm erwärmtes Zimmer geführt, wo Goethe in der Regel nachmittags und abends zu sein pflegt. Drei Lichter brannten auf dem Tisch; aber Goethe war nicht darin, wir hörten ihn in dem anstoßenden Saale sprechen. Herr H. sah sich derweile um und bemerkte außer den Gemälden und einer großen Gebirgskarte an den Wänden ein Repositorium mit vielen Mappen, von welchen ich ihm sagte, daß sie viele Handzeichnungen berühmter Meister und Kupferstiche nach den besten Gemälden aller Schulen enthielten, die Goethe im Leben nach und nach gesammelt habe und deren wiederholte Betrachtung ihm Unterhaltung gewähre." Johann Peter Eckermann (1792-1854) war ein deutscher Dichter und enger Vertrauter Goethes. Weniger die Gedichte, die in einem Bande im Jahre 1838 erschienen, als vielmehr die Niederschrift seiner Gespräche mit Goethe in den letzten Jahren seines Lebens haben Johann Peter Eckermann weithin bekannt gemacht und ihm hohe Anerkennung eingebracht.

Eyewitness account by a German soldier of seven years in Soviet captivity after the Battle of Stalingrad.

“Sting’s gift for prose and reverence for language, nearly the equal of his musical gifts, shine on every page. Even when Broken Music addresses the quixotic life of an aspiring rock & roller, it reads like literature from a more rarified time when adults didn’t condescend to the vulgarities of pop culture.” —Rolling StoneHaving been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done. And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know. I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that’s ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became.
