In the popular and scientific imagination, suicide has always been
an enigmatic act which defies yet demands explanation. Throughout
the centuries, philosophers and writers, journalists and scientists
have attempted to endow this act with meaning. In the 19th century,
and especially in Russia, suicide became the focus for discussion
of such issues as the immortality of the soul, free will and
determinism, the physical and the spiritual, the individual and the
social. Analyzing a variety of sources - medical reports, social
treatises, legal codes, newspaper articles, fiction, private
documents left by suicides - Irina Paperno describes the search for
the meaning of suicide.
