The horrors of war

Meer over het boek

Exploring the psychological impact of the two world wars, the book delves into the mass psychology theories of Gustave Le Bon and Sigmund Freud. It examines the profound horrors faced by those affected by conflict, particularly through the lens of art and literature. Otto Dix's paintings serve as a critical documentary source, revealing the grim realities of war and the resulting alienation and despair in early 20th-century European society. The research highlights how these themes resonate in contemporary discussions of trauma and societal struggles.
