Genial'nost' i pomeshatel'stvo
Genius and insanity.
Book Description
Genius and madness… Do they really have much in common? Is genius just one of the many forms of insanity? The greatest criminal psychiatrist of the 19th century, Cesare Lombroso, who himself was consistently declared a genius, a madman, and a genius again, offers in his most famous work a striking theory that genius is simply incompatible with normality - and with normality not in everyday life, but in purely clinical sense of the word. So what, according to Lombroso, is the "madness of geniuses"?
