The World As Dream

London, 1939: Psychoanalysis flourishes in America and Freud's works are sought worldwide: his international standing has far surpassed his father's simple plea that he make professor. But in the prophet's own land, it is a different matter. More cautious friends have persuaded the elderly Sigmund to take refuge in England and it is there that he completes the final, revealing session of self-analysis.
