Amy D. Ronner

Dostoevsky as Suicidologist

Self-Destruction and the Creative Process

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through an analysis of suicide in Fyodor Dostoevsky's writings, Amy D. Ronner illustrates how his implicit awareness of self-homicide pre-figured theories of prominent suicidologists, shaped both his philosophy and craft as a writer, and forged a ligature between artistry and the pluripresent impulse to self-annihilate.
