Description
Named Sweden’s best nonfiction book of 2024, this Czech-language book explores suicide through the story of Christian Rück’s aunt Liz, who died by suicide in 1983. Christian Rück, a psychiatrist, professor and scientific adviser on suicide prevention, guides readers through this controversial subject, sharing interviews with experts and testimonies from people who have lost someone. His own experience runs through the book like a connecting thread. What can we do when a child dies? Should a 104-year-old professor have the right to decide to end his life at a Swiss “death clinic”? Why is the human species the only one known to commit suicide? Can we better understand life when confronted with death? The book is deeply unsettling, but also offers hope and the courage to live a life that is truly worth living.
