The Alienist is a work that has upended the notion of psychological thrillers. The author, Caleb Carr, masterfully blends historical detective fiction with deep analysis of the human psyche. In the uneasy New York of 1896, where streetlights barely penetrate the darkness, mysterious murders of prostitutes take place. It is here that Lazlo Kreisler, an alienist, a representative of a completely new science for that time - psychoanalysis, enters the stage. Kreisler doesn't just solve crimes, he examines the killer like a psychologist, trying to understand his motives through complex mind mechanisms.

"The Alienist" is not just a detective story, it is an in-depth analysis of human psychology and society at the time. Caleb Carr perfectly captures the atmosphere of the late 19th century, when medicine was just beginning to understand the complexities and subtleties of the human mind. The reader feels like a participant in this study, following Kreisler through the dark streets of the city and peering into the darkest corners of the human soul. This piece makes you think about the nature of evil, the boundaries between norm and anomaly, what makes us human. "The Alienist" is a book that will stay with you long after you finish it, forcing you to rethink the world around you and yourself.
