Voices of Death

Viac o knihe

Voices of Death is composed of personal documents -- letters, diaries, journals, confessions, reminiscences, interviews, and suicide notes -- written or recorded by people threatened by death. Searing, often beautiful, accounts of the human spirit in heroism and despair, each in its own way is a rutter for the passage we all must make. Interwoven with the personal documents are Dr. Shneidman's own humane and searching comments and suggestions. Voices of Death does not deny the reality of death but, with compassion and hope, points the way for each of us to help both ourselves and others face death with courage and with grace.
