A BOOK OF DREAMS

Book ID/图书代码： 00353015B80161

English Summary/英文概要： Cloudbusting’ was inspired by a book that I found in a shop ...Written by a guy called Peter Reich, and it’s called A Book of Dreams. And it’s very unusual, beautiful book, written by this man through the eyes of himself when he was a child, looking at his father, and the relationship between them. Very special relationship, his father meant so much to him’ - Kate Bush This famous book, the inspiration behind Kate Bush’s 1985 hit song ’Cloudbusting’, is the extraordinary account of life as friend, confidant and child of the brilliant but persecuted Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Peter, his son, shared with his father the revolutionary concept of a world where dream and reality are virtually indistinguishable, and the sense of mission which set him and his followers apart from the rest of the human race. Here, Peter Reich writes vividly and movingly of the mysterious experiences he shared with his father: of flying saucers; the ’cloudbuster’ rain-makers and the FDA narks; and of the final tragic realization of his father’s death, which woke him up to the necessity of living out his life in an alien world. Already regarded as a modern classic, A Book of Dreams is not only a beautifully written narrative of a remarkable friendship and collaboration, but a loving son’s heartfelt tribute to a loving father.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “倾盆大雨”的灵感来自我在一家商店发现的一本书……是叫彼得•赖西的人所写，书名叫《梦之书》。这是一本与众不同，很美丽的书，当他还是个孩子的时候，通过自己的眼睛观察他的父亲，以及他们之间的关系。非常特殊的关系，他的父亲对他来说意义重大。——凯特•布什

这本著名的书，是凯特•布什1985年的主打歌“倾盆大雨”的灵感来源，这是一本关于生命的优秀书籍，讲述了才华横溢但被迫害的奥地利精神分析学家威廉•赖西作为朋友，知己和孩子的生活。彼得是他的儿子，分享了他父亲对一个梦想和现实几乎没有区别的世界的革命性的设想，对该使命的意识使他和他的追随者和其他人们远离。在本书中，彼得赖西写生动和动情地记述了他同父亲分享的神秘体验：飞碟；造雨者“破云器’和FDA的便衣；他父亲的死亡悲剧，这也让他意识到在这个陌生世界活出自己必要性。《梦想之书》已被视为现代经典，它不仅仅是一个书写优美，对友谊与合作的叙事，更是一个儿子慈父的衷心感谢。（LNL）

Awards/获奖情况：本书是凯特•布什的歌“倾盆大雨”的灵感来源，是赖西对自己作为有争议的心理学家威廉•赖希的儿子的童年的生动回忆。他帮助父亲制作“破云器”的精彩场面让人动容，他父亲在监狱里的去世让人心碎，迫使他成长，赖西对童年作了最好的描述之一。令人难以置信的是它仍然是绝版，即使是二手的副本也相当昂贵。它迫切需要重印，让新一代可以欣赏这本精湛的书。

The inspiration for Kate Bush’s song ’Cloudbusting’, Reich’s book is a vivid recollection of his childhood as the son of the controversial psychotherapist Wilhelm Reich. Moving from wonderful scenes of him helping his father go cloudbusting, the heartbreak of his father’s death in prison to his attempts, to deal with his past as a young man, Reich has written one of the best depictions of childhood. Incredibly it’s still out of print and copies can be quite expensive to obtain second-hand. It urgently needs a reprint so that a new generation can appreciate this superb book.
