2014 Reprint of 1895 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "'Degeneration' is one of the most important documents of the fin de siècle, the years between the 1880s and 1900 when the robust views of the nineteenth century clashed with the heightened sensibilities of a searching and disillusioned generation."--George L. Mosse. In "Degeneration" Max Nordau attacks so-called degenerate art and comments on the effects of a range of social phenomena of the period, such as rapid urbanization and its perceived effects on the human body. Nordau begins his work with a 'medical' and social interpretation of what has created this Degeneration in society. Nordau divides his study into five books. In the first book, Nordau identifies the phenomenon of fin de siècle in Europe.

Autorenporträt
Max Simon Nordau was a prominent Zionist leader, physician, author, and social critic born on July 29, 1849, in Pest, Budapest, Hungary. He was deeply involved in the Zionist movement, co-founding the Zionist Organization with Theodor Herzl. Nordau played a significant role in the movement, serving as president or vice-president at several Zionist congresses. His writings, including The Conventional Lies of Our Civilization, Degeneration, and Paradoxes, reflect his critique of modern society and its moral and cultural decline. As a social critic, Nordau explored the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and the changing values of modern life. He was particularly concerned with the effects of these changes on the individual and society. Nordau's influence extended beyond his Zionist activities, as he was recognized for his contributions to cultural and social thought. He passed away on January 22, 1923, in Paris at the age of 73. His final resting place is in the Trumpeldor Tel Aviv Cemetery in Tel Aviv, Israel. His parents were Rosalie Sarah and Gabriel S dfeld. He had one child, Maxa Nordau.
