First published in 1962 Beyond the Chains of Illusion is Fromm’s landmark book about Marx and Freud. Here he delivers original readings of these hugely influential thinkers and, in doing so, offers us new ways of understanding the individual and society. Perhaps even more revealing than these readings is the insight we get into Fromm’s own thought and the political and social contexts in which he formed his ideas. Including a foreword by Fromm’s Literary Executor, Rainer Funk, this is unique introduction to Marx and Freud and also to Fromm’s life and thought.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980) is widely regarded as one of the most important psychoanalytical thinkers of the 20th century. Besides his influence on modern psychology, he was also a key member of the Frankfurt School, and became one of the founders of the socialist humanist movement. He is the author of To Have Or To Be? and Marx's Concept of Man, both published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.
