Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges notions of reason and madness, exploring the ethical lines that blur the two. The author, a convicted murderer, recounts his experiences and beliefs, asserting that logic can be a labyrinth and its clarity a dangerous abyss. Through the author's journey, the text examines the grand themes of crime, guilt, insanity, and the complex nature of human consciousness. It argues that madness can be an intricate dance of perceived normality and abnormal behaviors, making it difcult to distinguish the two. This compelling work interrogates the very nature of sanity and prompts readers to question the reliability of expert judgment, revealing the fallibility of those entrusted to understand the complexities of the human mind.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'A Dilemma' is a haunting psychological novella that delves into the dark recesses of the human psyche. Written by the renowned Russian author Leonidas Andreiyeff (Leonid Andreyev), the story centers on Dr. Kerzhentsev, a brilliant but detached intellectual who carefully plans and executes the murder of a friend who had married the woman he once loved. The core of the narrative is not the crime itself, but the harrowing mental aftermath. Kerzhentsev attempts to feign madness to escape legal consequences, only to find himself trapped in a terrifying existential crisis: is he merely acting insane, or has his mind truly fractured under the weight of his actions This masterfully crafted work explores themes of alienation, the limits of human reason, and the thin veneer of civilization that masks primal impulses. Andreiyeff's prose captures the claustrophobic tension of a man struggling to maintain control over his own reality. 'A Dilemma' remains a compelling study of guilt and the fragility of the ego, offering readers a profound reflection on the nature of truth and the mysteries of the subconscious. It is a quintessential example of Russian Silver Age literature, blending elements of the psychological thriller with deep philosophical inquiry.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
