Sinossi
«Il mio scopo è reclamare uno spazio pubblico alla morte: è importante che tutti ne possano parlare apertamente. Il mio mezzo sono le storie, storie di persone che potrebbero essere vostri amici, fratelli, genitori e figli. Storie di persone che riescono ad amare e vivere intensamente la vita che stanno per abbandonare non perché siano persone eccezionali, ma perché è così che si comportano gli umani.»
In quest’opera coraggiosa e importante, Kathryn Mannix, medico e pioniere della medicina palliativa, esplora il tabù più grande della nostra società: la morte. Attraverso alcune storie indimenticabili riesce a trasmettere un messaggio importante a chi ancora vive, rispondendo con onestà a tutte le nostre domande sulla fine. La notte non fa paura è un libro per tutti noi, che racconta di come la morte non debba necessariamente essere dolorosa e spaventosa, se viene affrontata con la consapevolezza della verità.

Recensioni
In brief - Best book of the year without question. A powerful and moving read. In full This is the story of some of Dr Kathryn Mannix's patients.

Surprisingly peaceful and comforting. Well worth reading.
I very rarely give a book five stars, but this was so moving, eloquent, informative, poignant, and beautifully crafted that anything less felt unfair.

Kathryn Mannix's With the End in Mind: Dying, Death and Wisdom in an Age of Denial is written from her own experiences as a specialist in palliative care, and this proved, for me, both its strength and its downfall. The book is structured around a series of fictionalised case studies drawn from Mann Leggi tutto
This is close to the most uplifting thing I've ever read. It's beautifully written and quietly inspiring.
I have mixed feelings about this book. Sometimes the stories almost moved me to tears, and I was interested to learn many things about dying and how it often follows a very recognisable pattern. But there are also things that irritated me and make me question elements of the narrative, which of cour Leggi tutto
I listened to this audiobook and I was very impressed with this book. The book shares the stories of a palliative care doctor and the people she gets to know who are facing death. Unfortunately in our society we seem to have become afraid of dying and being able to talk to people facing death. This is Leggi tutto
The book is as helpfull, wise and sensitive as everybody's been saying and I would've given it 5 stars, but... It sounds kind of harsh, yet one out of forty chapters made me lower my general score with one star. It was a chapter about a dying person in Holland who felt he was pushed by his doctor int Leggi tutto
