“An original, fascinating, and beautifully written reckoning . . . of that great human passion: to write.”—Kay Redfield Jamison, national bestselling author of An Unquiet Mind Why is it that some writers struggle for months to come up with the perfect sentence or phrase while others, hunched over a keyboard deep into the night, seem unable to stop writing? In The Midnight Disease, neurologist Alice W. Flaherty explores the mysteries of literary creativity: the drive to write, what sparks it, and what extinguishes it. She draws on intriguing examples from medical case studies and from the lives of writers, from Franz Kafka to Anne Lamott, from Sylvia Plath to Stephen King. Flaherty, who herself has grappled with episodes of compulsive writing and block, also offers a compelling personal account of her own experiences with these conditions. “[Flaherty] is the real thing . . . and her writing magically transforms her own tragedies into something strange and whimsical almost, almost funny.”—The Washington Post “This is interesting, heated stuff.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Brilliant . . . [a] precious jewel of a book . . . that sparkles with some fresh insight or intriguing fact on practically every page.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Flaherty mixes memoir, meditation, compendium and scholarly reportage in an odd but absorbing look at the neurological basis of writing and its pathologies . . . Writers will delight in the way information and lore are interspersed.”—Publishers Weekly

في هذا الكتاب، ترسم فليْرتي ما بدأ يُطلعنا عليه علم الأعصاب بشأن الدافع إلى الكتابة والإبداع، والحُبسة الإبداعيّة ومعالجتها، والأسس اللحائيّة والحوفيِّة لهذه الدوافع والـحُـبسات، وأخيراً الجوانب العصبيِّة للعلاقة بين الاستعارة والصوت الداخلي والإلهام. تسبر فليرتي في «داء منتصف الليل» أغوار الكتابة بوصفها الإنجاز السّامي، وتكشف عمّا تنطوي عليه الحالات الذهنيّة المؤثِّرة في الإبداع من تجاذب وتناقض يتمثل في العلاقة بين العقل والجسد ومصادر الخيال. لكنّ اهتمامها الرئيس لا يتركّز على الكتابة بصيغها المعرفيّة بقدر ما يتركّز على الآليّة التي يمكن بموجبها لكلّ من طب الأعصاب والأدب أن يرتبطا لا بما يجعل الكُتَّاب قادرين على الكتابة وحسب، بل برغبتهم في ذلك وحاجتهم إليها أيضاً؛ إذ توصّل أطباء الأعصاب إلى أنّ التغيّرات الحاصلة في منطقة معيّنة من الدماغ يُمكن أن تُثمر ظاهرة فرط الكتابة أو الهايپرغرافيا، وهو مصطلح طبيّ للتعبير عن رغبة عارمة في الكتابة. فالهايپرغرافيا ونقيضها المعروف باسم حُبسة الكاتب، تنجمان عن أوضاع شاذّة ومعقّدة في الدافع البيولوجي الأساس إلى التواصل. ويُركِّز هذا الكتاب على اكتشاف العلاقة المعقّدة بين العاطفة والكتابة، مستعيناً بأمثلة من الأدب، ومن المَرْضى، ومن بعض تجارب فليرتي الذاتيّة.

A heartbreaking tale of love, loss and one nearly perfect summer -- perfect for fans of The Fault In Our Stars and Love, Simon. Seventeen-year-old Katie Price has a rare disease that makes exposure to even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly. Confined to her house during the day, her company is limited to her widowed father and her best (okay, only) friend. It isn't until after nightfall that Katie's world opens up, when she takes her guitar to the local train station and plays for the people coming and going. Charlie Reed is a former all-star athlete at a crossroads in his life - and the boy Katie has secretly admired from afar for years. When he happens upon her playing guitar one night, fate intervenes and the two embark on a star-crossed romance. As they challenge each other to chase their dreams and fall for each other under the summer night sky, Katie and Charlie form a bond strong enough to change them -- and everyone around them -- forever.

When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to “this long disease, my life,” his statement was quite literally true, since Pope, in addition to being a dwarf and a hunchback, suffered from many diseases during his lifetime. With technical advice from several physicians, the authors present the first medical case history of the poet. Drawing heavily upon the Correspondence for information about Pope's symptoms, they discuss the effect ill health had on his writings and the prevalence of medical themes in his works. The authors also explore Pope’s interests in astronomy (second only to his obsession with medicine), microscopy, geology, and physics and how they relate to his writings. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Once upon a time, on a long, slow trip to Scotland, a little girl named Katerina-Elizabeth tossed her oatmeal overboard—again, and again, and again. She was a picky eater, and oatmeal was her least favorite food. And once upon a time, a small worm, no bigger than a piece of thread, swam alongside an ocean liner bound for Scotland and ate bowl after bowl of tossed oatmeal. He had never tasted anything as wonderful as oatmeal in his whole life. A. W. Flaherty and Scott Magoon unravel the Loch Ness legend in this whimsical picture book for the picky (and not-so-picky) eater in all of us.
