Virgil on the title page: “Flectere si nequeo superos, acheronta movebo” 
(“If heaven does not hear me, then I call hell to help”). The true first 
edition of THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS in the original German, 
considered the foundational work of psychoanalysis and containing the 
central theses and themes of Freudian theory, including the unconscious 
(introduced here), repression, the Oedipus complex, the libido, early 
childhood sexuality, etc. Appearing in an edition of only 600 copies and 
published on 4 November 1899 (the publisher deliberately dated the title 
page to the 20th century), the book sold so slowly that a second edition 
was not needed until 1909. GARRISON-MORTON 4980; GROLIER MEDICINE 87;

greatest single work." Clean and fresh, inside and out. A few minor
