Everyone knows Icarus fell.But I love him for the fact that he dared to fly. Mania unfurls the invitation to fly too high, too near the sun...\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTristimania\u003c\/i\u003e is a stark and lyrical account of the psyche in crisis. It tells the story of a devastating year-long episode of manic depression, culminating in a long solo pilgrimage across Spain. The book is rare in recording the experience of mania and shows how the condition is at once terrifying and also profoundly creative, both tricking and treating the psyche. In exploring its literary influence, Griffiths looks at Shakespeare's work, and examines the Trickster role, tracing its mercuriality through the character of Mercury. An intimate, raw journey, the book illuminates something of the universal human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Griffiths\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1619029464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781619029460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Jay Griffiths","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984659808511,"sku":"9781619029460","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2894961-caac-4f8b-9f60-f9bb69d9095f.jpg?v=1683273520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tristimania-jay-griffiths-9781619029460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
