Franz Mesmer, Mary Baker Eddy and Sigmund<br />
Freud—three influential thinkers who travelled<br />
very different paths in their search for the crucial<br />
link between mind and body. Zweig’s brilliant<br />
study explores the lives and work of these<br />
important figures, raising provocative questions<br />
regarding the efficacy and even the morality of<br />
their methods.<br />
An insight into the minds of three key thinkers<br />
who shaped the philosophy of our age, Mental<br />
Healers is a wonderfully intriguing and thoughtprovoking<br />
biographical work from a renowned<br />
master of the genre.<br />

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, a<br />
member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and<br />
Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer.<br />
Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoyed<br />
literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same<br />
year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British<br />
citizenship. After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in<br />
1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double 27 suicide.
