Albert Einstein said that "madmen who believe they can change the world are actually changing it", but is this true? Madness is irrational, it shows a new way of thinking that can discover, look, feel and comprehend this world in a different way.
In this book, the author collides two worlds: art and psychology. What kind of lady pursued Erasmus of Rotterdam? Were Van Gogh and Edvard Munch so mad? How did the fear and majesty of death and the unknown inspire mad geniuses? Are madmen so mad and how did the phenomenon of the "mad creator" spread through the art world? Using the most vivid examples from the biographies of Mozart, Ensor, Magritte, and many others, the author carefully, yet persistently, draws the thin historical thread of madness to our time and provides answers to these and many other questions.
