On Suicide
A Discourse on Voluntary Death
By Jean Amery
" . . . a moving, deep series of insights into the suicide's world . . . " —Kirkus Reviews
Jean Améry (Auschwitz survivor and author of At the Mind's Limits) thought of On Suicide as a continuation of the kind of reflections on mortality he had laid down in On Aging. But here he probes further and more deeply into the meaning of death and into the human capacity for suicide or voluntary death.
