"These are pages that one reads with almost physical pain...all
the way to its stoic conclusion." Primo Levi
"The testimony of a profoundly serious man.... In its every turn
and crease, it bears the marks of the true." Irving Howe, New
Republic
"This remarkable memoir...is the autobiography of an
extraordinarily acute conscience. With the ear of a poet and the
eye of a novelist, Amery vividly communicates the wonder of a
philosopher a wonder here aroused by the dark riddle of the Nazi
regime and its systematic sadism." Jim Miller, Newsweek
"Whoever has succumbed to torture can no longer feel at home in
the world. The shame of destruction cannot be erased. Trust in the
world, which already collapsed in part at the first blow, but in
the end, under torture, fully, will not be regained. That one s
fellow man was experienced as the antiman remains in the tortured
person as accumulated horror. It blocks the view into a world in
which the principle of hope rules. One who was martyred is a
defenseless prisoner of fear. It is fear that henceforth reigns
over him." Jean Amery
At the Mind s Limits is the story of one man s incredible
struggle to understand the reality of horror. In five
autobiographical essays, Amery describes his survival mental,
moral, and physical through the enormity of the Holocaust. Above
all, this masterful record of introspection tells of a young
Viennese intellectual s fervent vision of human nature and the
betrayal of that vision."
