Hölderlin’s Madness: Chronicle of a Dwelling Life, 1806–1843 (The Italian List)

This book by Giorgio Agamben offers a groundbreaking analysis of the life and work of Friedrich Hölderlin, one of Europe's greatest poets.

Through a detailed chronology of Hölderlin's years of purported madness and a new examination of his texts, Agamben sheds light on the poet's unique way of life and its profound political significance in today's world.

Despite being cut off from the outside world for the second half of his life, Hölderlin's poetry continues to resonate with readers today, offering a powerful alternative to traditional notions of living and inhabiting.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, and the political implications of art.
