Dark eros

While many view the controversial writings of the Marquis de Sade as monotonous, perverse pornographic fantasies, they can also be understood in a different light. Renowned author Thomas Moore reflects on the main themes of Sadean literature as a mythology that uniquely mirrors the dark side of our own relationships. Above all, these are themes of power and powerlessness, which manifest not only in intimate relationships but also in everyday situations like professional interactions or driving on the motorway. In the foreword by well-known Swiss therapist Guggenbühl-Craig, who long specialised in childhood aggression, the book is recommended as essential reading for those working in the helping professions. However, it is also designed for anyone interested in power, the dark corners of the human soul, and other topics within depth psychology.
