{"product_id":"fighting-melancholia-francoise-davoine-9781782203650","title":"Fighting Melancholia: Don Quixote's Teaching","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrancoise Davoine has been investigating psychotic phenomena and trauma for over thirty years, in collaboration with Jean-Max Gaudilliere. In this book, she draws on her literary background to take the reader on a fascinating voyage with an unexpected but most helpful guide: Don Quixote. In her work, Davoine approaches madness not as a symptom, but rather as a place, the place where the symbolic order and the social link have ruptured. She sees the psychotic as a seeker, engaged in a form of exploration into the nature and history of this place. This brings us to the seeker Don Quixote. Davoine takes the reader into the world of the knight-errant, to describe his adventures in a fascinating new light.Cervantes, the survivor of war trauma, captivity, and all manner of misfortunes, created this hero, first and foremost, so that the tale be told. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francoise Davoine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782203656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782203650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Francoise Davoine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365416202495,"sku":"9781782203650","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea0996a5-e161-4e73-9a1a-38193595d2b2.jpg?v=1697058399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-melancholia-francoise-davoine-9781782203650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
