This form of amok appears to resemble the Scandinavian Berserker, mal de pelea (Puerto Rico), and iich'aa (Navaho). [21] The Zulu battle trance is another example of the tendency of certain groups to work themselves up into a killing frenzy. The author portrayed Kuro, the Japanese film actor, by using stereotypical language: “One of my derights,’ he told us, ‘is to rearn about different culture…it is my legret that I cannot communicate with the soldiers on the shoot..They do not speak any ranguage we can discover.”- These places are also often populated by peripatetic characters, like Zweig himself. People who travel, people who shift from world to world, people with a certain social mobility, people who can escape their past and embrace the future, people with stories to tell. A disease that spreads relentlessly, a frenzy... Everyone you see, meet, greet may suddenly become your enemy.

And Zweig ha set it again in his favourite settings, a public place. This time it is a ship, like in Chess Story. Other times it is a hotel ( The Post-Office Girl, Burning Secret), or a Casino ( Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman), or a post office (Post Office Girl, again), or a train (Burning Secret, again), or even through transit mechanisms ( Letter from an Unknown Woman). These are public places where people, anonymous to each other, meet. This is the land of Hazard. Chance explains the unexpected encounters and anonymity encourages people to open up their harts to foreigners. Like in the the doctor’s couch – the twentieth century version of the Confessional.

In the Philippines, amok also means unreasoning murderous rage by an individual. In 1876, the Spanish governor-general of the Philippines José Malcampo coined the term juramentado for the behavior (from juramentar – "to take an oath"), surviving into modern Philippine languages as huramentado. [23] It has historically been linked with the Moro people of Mindanao, particularly in the Sulu Archipelago, in connection with societal and cultural pressures. [24]a b Eytan, Ariel (2019-09-01).

Though the DSM-IV does not differentiate between them, observers historically described two forms of amok: beramok and amok. Beramok, considered to be more common, was associated with personal loss and preceded by a period of depression and brooding. Amok, the rarer form, was believed to stem from rage, perceived insult or a vendetta against a person. [10] Historical and cross-cultural comparisons [ edit ] A pengamok being captured, 1883.

Passion, different sorts of passion, lie at the center of the story. Passion can be felt between two people. It can also be felt for one’s occupation and for an ideal.

Hindistan'da doktorluk yapmış olan bu adam yolcuya başından geçen bir olayı anlatır zira artık içinde tutamamaktadır.

Gelap mata', the Dark Eye, is an expression used in Sumatra and Java to describe a curious and disturbing social phenomenon. Socially speaking, the Malays, Sumatrans and Javanese are the best behaved people I have ever encountered. On the surface they are an extremely gentle, refined, submissive people. In fact the word 'Malay' comes from 'malu', 'gentle', and gentleness is a quality prized above all others among the Malays and their neighbours. In their family life, in their submission to traditional and parental authority, in their communal duties, they are among the most obedient people on earth. But every now and then something very disturbing happens. A man who has behaved in this obliging manner all his life and who has always done his duty by the outside world to perfection, suddenly finds it impossible to keep doing so. Overnight he revolts against goodness and dutifulness. [22]And this novella has reminded me, like no other by Zweig, of the writings of his British contemporary W. Somerset Maugham, whom I read years ago. Also extremely popular (the highest paid author during the 30s), he relished in these stories of “other” people and of the “Other” during the interwar and in the Colonies. The Amok Runners” (Jimm Juree #4) by Colin Cotterill. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Genre: Cozy mystery. Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand and surrounding area. Time: Present, taking into account this is a prequel to the other books in the series.- Zweig however uses it exceedingly well, because the first narrator, the anonymous Ich (Zweig?) provides us the readers with the best seat on the actual story. We are there. We talk to the second narrator. He also moves in and out smoothly, elegantly, so that some shifts in the perspective are not identified as first or second story until we have read a bit further on into the paragraph of the shifting views.

May be that is his secret for his ability to allure the reader so very fast and so unceasingly. He identified the essential, that which leads and captivates the attention of the reader, and maintained as such. Essential. On June 15, 2009 Colin Cotterill received the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library award for being "the author of crime fiction whose work is currently giving the greatest enjoyment to library users".This one novel, however, may, controversially, hurt the politically- conscientious individual from the twenty-first century.
