Book Description

′What binds us pushes time away.′So wrote David Oppenheim, scholar, collaborator and then critic of Sigmund Freud; participant in the intellectual and cultural highs and lows of early 20th-century Vienna, victim of the Nazis, and grandfather of philosopher Peter Singer.

Fifty years after Oppenheim′s death, Singer discovered a wealth of written materials, including intimate personal letters his grandparents had sent to each other, which provided startling insights into their relationship - and a vivid picture of the man Singer never met.

In recreating his grandfather′s life, Singer gives readers a rare glimpse into the controversial, vibrant, and most intensely Jewish intellectual life in Europe.
