About this ebook:
Cu 128 de ilustraţii, din care 44 de planşe colorPierderea raţiunii, sentimentul de înstrăinare de realitatea în care cu toţii ne imaginăm că trăim sau permanenta agitaţie emoţională sînt doar cîteva dintre trăsăturile pe care le asociem cu nebunia. Astăzi, tulburarea psihică este percepută cel mai frecvent prin prisma medicinei, însă de-a lungul istoriei oamenii au căutat să-i dea un sens prin religie sau elemente supranaturale, prin construirea unor explicaţii psihologice ori sociale, în dorinţa de a îmblînzi demonii iraţionalului. Bogat ilustrată, Istoria culturală a nebuniei îl poartă pe cititor din Antichitate pînă în prezent, de la Bedlam la azilurile victoriene, de la teoria umorilor la farmacologia modernă, explorînd manifestările şi semnificaţiile nebuniei, provocările şi consecinţele ei. O istorie panoramică a întîlnirii omului cu iraţionalul, remarcabilă prin varietatea domeniilor abordate şi episoadele inedite din viaţa unor personalităţi ca Avicenna, Charcot, Freud, van Gogh sau Dalí.„O carte minunată, fascinantă şi bine scrisă, cu obişnuita vervă şi erudiţie a lui Scull, ce explorează modurile în care au abordat psihoza societăţile antice şi medievale şi arată că, în ciuda tehnicilor de imagistică a creierului şi a medicamentelor psihotrope, psihiatria modernă are încă multe de învăţat de la ele.” (Sylvia Nasar, autoarea cărţii A Beautiful Mind)„Adoptînd o vastă perspectivă de studiu, Scull arată ce a însemnat nebunia pentru societate de-a lungul istoriei şi pe tot cuprinsul lumii. Scrie cu pasiune şi totodată cu umor, are un ochi extraordinar pentru citate pătrunzătoare şi pentru întîmplări grăitoare, ţinîndu-l pe cititor sub vraja lui. O carte fascinantă a unui maestru în domeniu.” (William Bynum, University College London)

A very strong entry. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. Quite impressive overall.
