The treatise of the XNUMXth century English thinker Robert Burton is the greatest book created by mankind, but before the publication of the current edition, it was unfamiliar to the Russian reader. Dissecting the phenomenon of melancholy, considering its physical, psychological, astrological and other aspects, Burton creates a work in which charming archaism goes hand in hand with sharp scientific intuition, and sweet naivety — with originality and depth of judgment.
