A novel of ideas, both introspective and brutal, inspired by the works of Robert Musil, W. G. Sebald and Hermann Broch.
Shortly after the end of World War II, Nicolas, a young French psychiatrist, is invited to work at a hospital in Switzerland, and moves to a nearby village with his wife Anna. Known for its humane treatment methods, the hospital accepts patients from all over Europe. Nicolas rejects treatments like electroshock therapy, preferring to talk with his patients until something is uncoveredeither in the patients unconscious mind or his own.
In these conversations, various war wounds are brought to the surface, in a delicately balanced game combining trust and madness. The young psychiatrist confronts the demons of historical guilt and seeks to reconcile his materialism with spirituality. Set against the backdrop of the development of the first drugs to treat depression and other mental illnesses, and while discussing issues that are still pertinent to our times, this touching novel forces us to confront past traumas and, above all, to face our fears for the future.
Although the story takes place in 1950s Europe, it is also a meditation on the contemporary mental health crisis and a metaphor for the lingering of fascist ideas around the world, with specific references to present-day Brazil.
