HUNGRY. REPORTS ABOUT (NON)EATING KLAUDIA STABACH

The book "Hungry" is a shocking report about the fight with one's own body, about striving for non-existence and annihilation. It is a story about devastating starvation diets, sophisticated diets, murderous aerobics and finally - two fingers down the throat. It is a philosophy in which the deep meaning of life is missing.

• Shocking reading for mothers, families, pediatricians and psychiatrists
• Shows the everyday life of people suffering from eating disorders
• Reveals the world of people for whom food has become an enemy
• Empathetic look at the situation of people with eating disorders
• Searching for rescue methods and support for the protagonists of the report
• Discovering the underground of people who glorify starvation

Klaudia Stabach, in her report, reveals the carefully hidden world of people for whom food has become the greatest enemy. Starvation, compulsive overeating, torturing oneself with physical exercises, forced vomiting ruin the lives and health of the heroines and heroes of "Hungry". The author tries with empathy to understand their situation, looks with them for methods of rescue and support, discovering in the process a kind of underground of people who glorify starvation and treat it as a lifestyle.

It is a book about the fight to the death with the greatest enemy, which is one's own body. What is it about? About the body. To bring it to the limit of non-being, non-existence, annihilation. This is the case in extreme cases. In less extreme cases, it is a book about all of us. More or less devastating starvation diets, sophisticated diets, murderous aerobics, the seventh sweat in the gym or, in extreme cases, two fingers down the throat - these are the main pillars of this philosophy, in which one thing is most lacking: the deep meaning of life.

Ewa Woydyłło-Osiatyńska about the book: "Shocking reading! Horror for mothers, entire families, pediatricians, psychiatrists, therapists, nurses and those children whose "life battery has run out to two percent"." The Women without Diet Foundation adds: "A very important book! It shows the everyday life of people suffering from eating disorders. It is a rare perspective that draws attention to their world without overlooking the causes of the development of the disease".
