Listen, Little Man!

Mycket gott skick.
This volume is one of four (published together in Pelicans) representing the work of Wilhelm Reich M.D., one of the leading contributors to modern psychology.
When Reich wrote Listen, Little Man! in 1945 he did not intend it for general publication. He wrote this pungent essay
'to win for the researcher and thinker the right to personal reaction' and to show the man-in-the-street how he forges his own chains by his unquestioning acceptance of prevailing norms. The author forcefully points out that the price of quiescence is tyranny, war, and a distorted and deprived sexual life, and he exhorts the average man and woman to assume a personal responsibility for themselves and their children.
Supplemented in this edition by William Steig's humorous drawings, Listen, Little Man! bears witness to Reich's unceasing and passionate search for a means of establishing society on an authentic basis of 'love, work and knowledge'.
