Mad Art: Fear, Scandal, Madness
9 hrs. 34 min.
Description
The audiobook examines the influence of three main psycho-emotional states—fear, scandal, and madness—on literary works. Experts from different countries offer readers a new look at well-known books, revealing hidden meanings in works by such writers as Gogol, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Nabokov. Fear can strongly affect personality development, but it can also lead to destruction. Literary scandals reveal new aspects of writers’ lives and the cultural environment of their time. The section dedicated to literary madness describes mentally unhealthy characters, delusions, and hallucinations that play an important role in literary works.
