Description

The Malady of the Century by Max Simon Nordau is a critical exploration of the cultural and psychological ailments that plagued Europe in the late 19th century. Published in 1892, Nordau's work provides a penetrating analysis of the era's intellectual decadence, examining the effects of modernity on the human spirit. He argues that the rise of individualism, coupled with a disconnection from traditional values, has led to a pervasive sense of malaise and disillusionment among the populace.Nordau delves into various artistic movements, particularly the Symbolists and Decadents, positing that their works reflect a broader societal decline. He is particularly critical of the glorification of suffering and neurosis prevalent in contemporary art and literature. Through a blend of sociological critique and psychological insight, The Malady of the Century remains a thought-provoking commentary on the interplay between art, culture, and the human condition, resonating with readers even today.
