It 'opens and cuts up' the condition of melancholy, or depression as we know it today, and in doing so explores a dizzying range of additional topics including goblins, beauty, the geography of America, digestion, the passions, alcohol and kissing. Burton believed that reading was a cure for melancholy, and so the book itself - one of the most unique and uncategorisable works of all time - can be seen as a tonic for the very condition it describes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533821149472,"sku":"NEW0141192283","price":36.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91bhmHPxOHL.jpg?v=1777352712","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/anatomy-of-melancholy-0141192283","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
