The Unconscious: Penguin Classics Audiobook (Free)

Presented by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Michael Pennington, among the founders of the English Shakespeare Company, known for his stage use the RSC, and who played Carl Jung in the BBC drama, Freud. This definitive recording includes an Introduction by Tag Cousins.

Among Freud’s central accomplishments was to show how unacceptable thoughts and emotions are repressed in to the unconscious, from where they continue steadily to exert a decisive impact more than our lives.

This volume contains an integral statement about evidence for the unconscious, and how it operates, as well as major essays on all of the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how exactly we frequently find methods both expressing and to refuse what we should most fear, and why certain men need fetishes because of their sexual satisfaction. His research of our most elementary drives, and exactly how they are changed, brilliantly illuminates the type of sadism, masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.
