"Freud wrote the present work (first published 1915 in Vol. 4 of Imago) in an attempt to come to terms with the unprecedented horrors of the first World War, which had destroyed the illusion that humanity had progressed to a permanent high level of ethics and civilization. The second part of the work dealt with 'civilized' and 'primal' attitudes toward death, and described how war strips away the veneer of the first to reveal the second" [Norman Catalog]. Binding: HB.
