Lou Andreas-Salomé died in 1937, harassed by the Nazis, thanks to her eternal enemy: Nietzsche's sister. Days later, the Gestapo confiscated her library for having been a colleague of Freud, for practicing psychoanalysis, a "Jewish science" and for possessing many books by Jewish authors. But her works - more than a dozen novels and her psychoanalytic contributions - remained, as well as her copious correspondence. Her memory is that of the rictus of a mouth that does not yield, eyes like stilettos lit in the cave and the determination to be a work in perpetual construction, to bite the bars of every cage.
In this book, nine women unearth her and make her speak. She says, whoever reads it will see, things not yet heard.
