The Body In Pain

The Making And Unmaking Of The World

BY ELAINE SCARRY

Brief Description:
A challenging book; by examining how inexpressible one person's pain is to another, Scarry looks at how humankind is a ble to torture one another and go to war. She looks deeply into the language and the philosophy of violence. This book offers a profound analysis that is thought provoking and should be widely read. She goes on to see the potential for creativity arising from these same depths.
