Fear of death. The most fundamental, ancient, and fundamental of all life. The elephant in the room, the taboo, our greatest drama, humans. Death has always been the problem, but also the fuel for faith, art, psychology, literature, philosophy, tradition, mysticism, religion. Death as the completion of life, the door to the unknown. How, then, is it possible to write an optimistic essay about death? Existentialist researcher Nina Ramon embarks on an impossible literary and philosophical journey: a world-encompassing non-fiction book, eye-level from every possible aspect, method, and angle. An optimistic book on the most difficult subject of all. "Tens of thousands of books have been written and will continue to be written about death: books of a theoretical, narrative, or experiential-personal nature — all of them deal with similar questions: death versus life, the meaning of life, fear of death, coping with death and the void, and of course the question of 'Why?' "Why, if life ends like this in death — what's the point of living at all? In the end, curiosity will probably kill the cat, and then everything will become clear and obvious. But until then, we can put a little order into the multitude of positions and versions and try to reach an informed answer."
