Written in nine chapters separated into three blocks, Narcis
Oller's The Madness is one of the first literary pieces of work to
aim to truly analyze the social and genetic causes and results of
mental illness. Told through the eyes of an anonymous "narrator"
character, The Madness tells the story of a young revolutionary
called Daniel Serrallonga and his gradual deterioration into
madness and delusion. Set against the backdrop of the political
crisis that ripped Spain apart in the mid to late 19th century and
laid the foundations of the Spanish Civil War, The Madness is a
fascinating study of mental health within both rural and urban
Catalan society. As relevant and entertaining now as it was when it
was first published, this lively translation brings this fantastic
piece of literature to new, modern audiences while drawing
parallels with some of the 19th century's greatest English language
writers such as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.
