this book is pretty good if you have an interest in severe mental illness. it's a personal account of years spent in a mental institution. a more legit review from brainwashed.com is below: In 1893, after having served as a judge, he fell ill at the age of 51. Diagnosed as a paranoiac, he spent the next seven years in an asylum, early on mute before the assaults of his hallucinations and only gradually returning to speech with revelations of his bizarre and overwhelming religious experiences. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, republished by New York Review Books, is his account of those events and written with full confidence in the truth of his visions. Schreber's problem was God. As his visions showed him, God was a vast net of nerve fibers, all taken from the human corpses, cleansed and raised to blessedness. But sometime in the past, one of these nervous souls committed soul murder and the result upset the Order of the World, causing his own ailment. He believed himself to be unique in the history of the earth in exerting an unnatural attraction upon God, whose rays reached down from the stars to lodge themselves in his body. The more they did so, the more feminized he became. And the more female he became, the more he had to worry that God intended to change his sex altogether, then humiliate and rape him, so he could give birth to a new race. He argues with the sun and receives messages from birds; voices shout at him constantly, as God, hoping to sever contact with Schreber, tries to make him completely demented. God "did not really understand the living human being and had no need to understand him, because, according to the Order of the World, He dealt only with corpses." God perpetually afflicts Schreber, pouring corpse juice into his brain, and much as he realizes the absurdity of saying it, Schreber must admit that everything that happens is in reference to him, from the insects that pester him when he closes his eyes to the "bellowing-miracle" which explodes his fits of soul-voluptuousness. He writes rationally and clearly, taking dictation from the voices in his head: "Bad news came in from all sides that even this or that star or group of stars had to be 'given up'; at one time it was said that even Venus had been 'flooded,' at another that the whole solar system would now have to be 'disconnected,' that the Cassopeia (the whole group of stars) had had to be drawn together into a single sun, that perhaps only the Pleiades could still be saved. . . ." One of his doctors figures as an especially malevolent presence, perhaps the original soul murderer, in any case now a diabolical figure trying to wrest souls from God to gain power, while poor Schreber gets in the way. The world he constructs is coherent and gloriously imaginative, sometimes beautiful and often horrifying. It is a madness which has long struggled with and finally found its voice.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cao Thị Hằng

While I almost gave up after the first 50 pages because it was reminiscent of the despair, misanthropy, and abject gloom of the majority of Celine’s other famous novel Journey to the End of The Night (not there is anything wrong with any of those things, but all good (or bad) things in moderation), the story and writing got better as the novel developed to the point where the book was surprisingly entertaining. The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of Celine growing up in the slums of Paris in the early 20th century, the people he encountered, their vices, and his own malaise to all of it as a youth. Being caricatures for the most part, many of the people about whom Celine writes border on the absurd and that helps keep the novel lively even though the events are all bleak and the life of the urban poor seems without hope. A decent book, and overall probably revolutionary for it’s time, but since the Beat Generation completely ripped off this style of writing, the uniqueness and originality has lost a lot of its shock value. That said, the fact that the writers of the Beat Generation so revered Celine is one more reason that the Beat Generation was one of the most overrated literary movements in history, along with 19th century Victorian romance novels and those Jeff Foxworthy “You Might be a Redneck if…” books. It’s not that Celine is a bad writer, but there is a whole lot of “eh” in this book (and I fully admit it may lose something in translation) and much of the Beat writing seems like a bad impression of that “eh.”

Cuộc Đời Chim Sẻ - Tập 3: Không Bao Giờ Từ Bỏ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kiến Văn

MUERTE ILUSTRADA Al igual que las crucifixiones romanas, las ejecuciones cristianas pretendían dramatizar el poder del Estado para causar dolor. Las máquinas de matar como la rueda o el potro retrasaban la muerte todo lo posible para que el público pudiera ver cómo se desgarraban los músculos de la víctima y escuchar sus alaridos. A diferencia de las crucifixiones, prolongando el dolor las autoridades cristianas pretendían forzar a la víctima a confesar la enormidad de sus pecados antes de verse reducida a poco más que un pedazo de carne. El tormento tenía un propósito religioso y en cierto sentido caritativo, al proporcionar al criminal una última oportunidad de librarse de las profundidades del infierno confesando el pecado. El Dr. Guillotin rechazó esas ideas. Señaló que la mayoría de los criminales quedaban inconscientes o trastornados después de sólo una o dos vueltas de rueda y, por lo tanto, eran incapaces de optar por arrepentirse. Además, pensaba que incluso el criminal más abyecto tenía ciertos derechos naturales, por lo que respectaba a su cuerpo, que la ley no podía violar. Basándose en el gran tratado de la Ilustración sobre las prisiones, De los delitos y las penas de Beccaria, el Dr. Guillotin argumentó que cuando el estado impone la pena de muerte, debe mostrar el máximo respeto por el cuerpo que va a destruir y administrar una muerte rápida, sin dolor inútil. Al hacerlo así, se muestra superior al vulgar asesino. Los fines de Guillotin, por lo tanto, eran enteramente humanitarios. Además, pensó que había liberado la muerte de las irracionalidades de rituales cristianos como la confesión de los pecados. El Dr. Guillotin presentó su propuesta de una muerte ilustrada y sin rituales a principios de la Revolución, en diciembre de 1789, pero la Asamblea Nacional no autorizó el uso de su máquina hasta marzo de 1792. Un mes más tarde un delicuente común murió bajo la cuchilla, y el 21 de agosto de 1792 , la máquina fue utilizada por primera vez con una finalidad política, para decapitar al legitimista Collenor d´Augrement.
