Editorial Review Product Description Ranging from Charles Dickens to Oliver Sacks, Anton Chekhov to Raymond Queneau, Fanny Burney to Virginia Woolf, Miguel Torga to Guido Ceronetti, The Body in the Library is an anthology of poems, stories, journal entries, Socratic dialogue, table-talk, clinical vignettes, aphorisms, and excerpts written by doctor-writers themselves. Engaging and provocative, philosophical and instructive, intermittently funny and sometimes appalling, this anthology sets out to stimulate and entertain. With an acerbic introduction and witty contextual preface to each account, it will educate both patients and doctors curious to know more about the historical dimensions of medical practice. Armed with a first-hand experience of liberal medicine and knowledge of several languages, Iain Bamforth has scoured the literatures of Europe to provide a well-rounded and cross-cultural sense of what it means to be a doctor entering the twenty-first century. A book for every bedside. |

Justice Without Violence The assassin, in real life and in the play, is a man named Kaliayev.Camus' characterization is of a man dedicated to political change, but not through blind or senseless violence.Camus never endorsed or accepted the need for violence against "civilians" during a revolution, so he endows his characters with the same value.The small cell to which Kaliayev belongs in the play in dedicated to "justice* for the Russian people.They see their actions as self-sacrifice. At the start of the play, Kaliayev is selected to throw the bomb that will assassinate the Grand Duke.His first attempt ends in what might be considered failure--Kaliayev does not throw the bomb.The Duke was with his niece and nephew.Kaliayev cannot harm innocent children, and the group agrees with his decision. Camus' account is, according to most, historically accurate; the real Kaliayev was not interested in harming those whom he considered to be innocent. Breaking with history, Camus introduces a fictional character to illustrate the wrongs of the Communist Party.The character of Stepan Federov is a victim of the Czarist state.Due to his experiences under the Czar's legal system, he has become an extremist.Camus illustrates that some revolutionaries are acting upon emotion, not concern for their fellow citizens.Stepan tells the other terrorists that he would have killed children "if the organization commanded it." Stepan is the archetype of a Stalinist--the type of supporter of the Soviet Union that prevented Camus from supporting the Communist Party.Camus was a socialist and supported the idea of change, but not the idea that any means can be justified by the anticipated ends.What happens when a revolution fails?The innocent die for nothing, according to Camus. In the play, Kaliayev succeeds and assassinates the Grand Duke on the third try.The Grand Duchess Ella, sister of the Empress Alexandra, visits Kaliayev in prison; she is a kind and compassionate person.Again, Camus' account is based upon history.The Duchess even considers sparing the assassin's life.Kaliayev tells her that he wants to die--to avoid being a "murderer."At this moment in the play, Kaliayev adheres to basic existential ethics...he accepts the consequences of his actions. Camus even ends the play with another insult to communists.Dora, a woman, is selected for the next bombing.Historically, women were not allowed to be active in most revolutionary movements, not even the French Resistance.Camus always wondered why "the people" never included women, although it is no wonder, considering how difficult were his own relationships with the women in his life. The Just constitutes the third and final of Camus' works known as The Revolts; the first was the novel, Le Peste, or The Plague and the third, the essay, L'Homme Révolté, or The Rebel.
Dramatic Philosophy at it's very best!
