520 8  A leading European intellectual reflects on the changing 
       concept of melancholy throughout history.|bA leading 
       European intellectual reflects on the changing concept of 
       melancholy throughout history Alberto Manguel praises the 
       Hungarian writer Lszl Fldnyi as "one of the most brilliant
       essayists of our time." 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.
