Fldnyi's extraordinary Melancholy, with its profusion of literary, ecclesiastical, artistic, and historical insights, gives proof to such praise. His book, part history of the term melancholy and part analysis of the melancholic disposition, explores many centuries to explore melancholy's ambiguities. Along the way Fldnyi discovers the unrecognized role melancholy may play as a source of energy and creativity in a well- examined life. Fldnyi begins with a tour of the history of the word melancholy, from ancient Greece to the medieval era, the Renaissance, and modern times. He finds the meaning of melancholy has always been ambiguous, even paradoxical. In our own times it may be regarded either as a psychic illness or a mood familiar to everyone. The author analyzes the complexities of melancholy and concludes that its dual nature reflects the inherent tension of birth and mortality. To understand the melancholic disposition is to find entry to some of the deepest questions one's life. This distinguished translation brings Fldnyi's work directly to English- language readers for the first time. 546 In English, translated from the Hungarian. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Depression, Mental.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85037053 650 0 Melancholy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85083364 650 7 Depression, Mental.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 890931 650 7 Melancholy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1015651 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Wilkinson, Tim,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2003057435|etranslator. 700 1 Manguel, Alberto,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80013377|ewriter of foreword. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1210863|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
