From the archives of the Spanish Academy. Freud and his "weaving"

Abstract

The starting point of the rehearsal is the first great friendship that sprinkles Freud’s life and marks his path, that of Eduard Silberstein. The letters between the two friends cover a period of ten years and can be considered the minutes of a secret association, baptised by the two teenagers as "Academia Española" (Spanish Academy). The author traces Freud's literary concerns (or temptations) that are not limited to letters only: in those years Freud wrote stories, poems, treatises and accumulated them in the "Archives" of the Spanish Academy, probably eliminated from our curiosity due to a fire to which Freud destined all his papers - so as he told Martha.
