Abstract

The volume "Dante, Freud and Dalí: what they might have in common? Psychoanalytic Reflections on Dante's Inferno", authored by PhD Prof. Univ. Marius Dumitrescu, and published in 2022 by Lumen Publishing House from Iasi, Romania took me into a world of questions about reality, about my own mind and my own morality. The author' challenge for the reader is an invitation into a very deep journey to explore his/hers own reality based on Freud's work and analyzing the influence of Dante in the developing of psychoanalyzes theory of interpreting the dreams. The books takes also the reader in a short ride through Dali's work, and his way of seeing the reality. The link between Dante, Freud and Dali is the hidden reality, which is also hidden between the challenging the pages of this book.
