Beskrivning
This groundbreaking monograph offers readers a profound exploration of nineteenth-century literature. Rather than presenting these works as a mere succession of literary movements, the author weaves romanticism, realism, gothic, and decadence into a coherent tapestry united by a singular focus: the enigmatic nature of human decision-making.The text delves beyond plot mechanics to examine the psychological underpinnings of iconic characters like Anna Karenina, Isabel Archer, and Raskolnikov. Through meticulous analysis, it addresses fundamental questions that continue to resonate: Why do people act against their own interests? Why do we harm those we love? What drives human desire, and how does it sometimes lead to destruction?This volume deliberately shifts focus from the traditional emphasis on societal dynamics and urban development to concentrate on the obsessions of the human soul. The text approaches each literary work as a monument containing secrets, offering readers a fresh interpretive framework that balances narrative events with their deeper significance. This will be essential reading for scholars of nineteenth-century literature, psychoanalytic criticism, and anyone fascinated by the dark complexities of human motivation that transcend historical context and continue to define the human condition.
