Features: The cherished jewel of Russian émigré aristocracy, a rebellious doubter of God. A talented writer, an unconventional feminist, and an unchaste hawthorn. Loved by Nietzsche, admired by Freud, and lived and traveled with Rilke. Nietzsche once famously said, "Return to the woman, but don’t forget to bring your whip." Nietzsche’s hatred complex toward women originated from both the author and the protagonist of this book—Salome. Rilke’s touching love poem, "Blind my eyes, and I will still see you; Plug my ears, and I will still hear you," was written for Salome. A meticulous reader can discover from one of the images in this book that Freud’s bookshelf actually displayed a photograph of Salome.
