Jean Améry (1912–1978), actually Hans Mayer, was an Austrian intellectual of Jewish origin, whose work is characterized by a deep struggle with the trauma of human life. His analyses, devoid of consolation, focus on the recognition of one's own condition. Améry contemplated old age and suicide, and included his thoughts in the publications "On Aging" and "Raising a Hand Against Oneself." In 1966, he published the volume "Beyond Guilt and Punishment," a reckoning with his stay in the concentration camp and the tortures he suffered.

In "Beyond Guilt and Punishment," Améry focuses on the fate of a broken man, whose experiences of violence leave their mark forever. The lost faith in man and his humanity cannot be healed. The author emphasizes that suffering does not ennoble, but reduces to nothingness. His analyses, although rational, do not explain everything, leaving room for reflection on the limits of human experience. This book is not only a testimony of history, but also a universal message about the power of trauma and its impact on the human psyche. The book format is 208x150 mm.
