This bilingual edition offers the three versions - draft, clean copy and published version - of Das Ich und das Es.
We want to draw attention to a particularity of this Freudian manuscript: that of being a direct "almost" transcription of its formulations in a nascent state, when the time to make yourself understood in the context of his work is not yet present. Thus, the draft bears the mark of thoughts urged by the real thing of psychoanalysis, which are presented in a concise, blunt, steep, apodictic way.
