Список книг автора Robert BurtonMelankolinin kısa anatomisi
Bu kitap, sıradan bir melankoli incelemesi ya da melankolinin sebepleri, belirtileri ve tedavilerini derleyen tıbbi bir çalışma değildir. Antik dönemlerden Rönesans’a kadar insan davranışlarının nasıl yorumlandığına kapsamlı bir bakıştır, döneminin felsefi ve fizyolojik fikirlerinin bir araya getirildiği önemli bir derlemedir. Burton’ın incelikli üslubu ve akıcı diliyle kaleme aldığı bu inceleme hem kendinize hem de dünyaya bakışınızı değiştirecek. Haftanın, yılın ya da yüzyılın değil, tüm zamanların en iyisi demek istiyorum. Neden mi? Çünkü bu kitap tüm zamanların en iyisi. – Nicolas Lezard, The Guardian Modern yazarların çoğu beni yoruyor ama Burton öyle değil. Konuşur gibi yazıyor, çok bilgili ama tepeden bakmıyor ve bir kez başladı mı durması çok zor. O, aynı zamanda bir mizah yazarı; “mizahçı” diye anılmamasına bakmayın. İngiliz ironisinin iyi bir örneği olan Melankolinin Anatomisi, dünyanın en iyi mizah kitaplarından biri. – Anthony Burgess İngiliz düzyazısının en parlak günlerinin en iyi metni. – Lewellyn Pawys (Yazar)
The Anatomy of Melancholy: Philosophy Classic
Although presented as a medical text, The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text, and Robert Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact, the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized, and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal.

The Anatomy of Melancholy (Volume III of III)
A labor of love taking much of Burton's life to write and revise, «The Anatomy of Melancholy» is an expansive, informative, and eccentric work of genius first published in 1621. Burton was an English churchman and a scholar, and his depth and breadth of knowledge is readily apparent in this inexhaustible book. Through the frame of a medical treatise, Burton begins with melancholy and slowly deals with various mental states, frequently digressing with commentary from a myriad of other fields, including history, literature, psychology, astronomy, and theology. Though he quotes medical experts from Hippocrates and Aristotle to many medieval authorities, Burton just as often includes Latin poetry in a manner bordering on a stream of consciousness. Through this plethora of references on the human condition, as well as Burton's alternately serious and satirical tone, «The Anatomy of Melancholy» eloquently portrays the whole of human knowledge up to its day in a charming and imaginative way that will allow this work to endure as a classic of the English language. In this edition we have the third of three volumes.
