Looking Back by Lou Andreas-Salomé

A candid, reflective memoir in which a pioneering intellectual recounts the arc of her life: formative education and travels, intimate and often tumultuous relationships with leading thinkers and writers, and the development of her own thought and work in psychology and literature; the narrative blends vivid personal portraits, frank observations about love, independence, and creativity, and a clear-eyed appraisal of how social conventions and intellectual currents shaped both her choices and her era.
