This account of a teacher in Austria -- a friend of Freud and one of the millions of victims of the Holocaust -- is "beautifully written and deeply moving" (Joyce Carol Oates).

Peter Singer's Pushing Time Away is a rich and loving portrait of the author's grandfather, David Oppenheim, from the turn of the twentieth century to the end of his life in a concentration camp during the Second World War. Oppenheim, a Jewish teacher of Greek and Latin living in Vienna, was a contemporary and friend of both Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. With his wife, Amalie, one of the first women to graduate in math and physics from the University of Vienna, he witnessed the waning days of the Hapsburg Empire, the nascence of psychoanalysis, the grueling years of the First World War, and the rise of anti-Semitism and Nazism.

Told partly through Oppenheim's personal papers, including letters to and from his wife and children, Pushing Time Away blends history, anecdote, and personal investigation to pull the story of one extraordinary life out of the millions lost to the Holocaust.

A contemporary philosopher known for such works as The Life You Can Save and Animal Liberation, Singer offers a true story of his own family with "all the power of a great novel... resonant of The Reader by Bernhard Schlink or An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro" (The New York Times).

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Singer, including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
