Memoirs of My Nervous Illness
by Daniel Paul Schreber • Introduction by Rosemary Dinnage
In 1884, the distinguished German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber suffered the first of a series of mental collapses that would afflict him for the rest of his life. Composed while he was confined to a psychiatric hospital, his book is perhaps the most revealing dispatch ever received from the far side of madness. As Rosemary Dinnage writes, Schreber wrote "an account of what it is to be foresaken by everything familiar and real, and of the delusionary world that gets invented in their place."
