Moses and Monotheism. First British edition of Freud's last great essay. Freud theorises that Moses was not Hebrew, but actually was born into Ancient Egyptian nobility and might have followed Akhenaten. It was published in May, a few months before the author's death in September.Leonard Woolf wrote in his own autobiography, "the greatest pleasure that I got from publishing the Psycho-Analytical Library was the relationship which it established between us and Freud... He was not only a genius, but also, unlike many geniuses, an extraordinarily nice man" (p. 166).
