The book explores the theme of how society perceives extraordinary individuals, often labeling them as mad or intoxicated due to their unconventional actions and ideas. Drawing inspiration from Goethe's insights in "Faust," it delves into the lives of remarkable figures who challenged norms and pushed boundaries, highlighting the tension between genius and societal acceptance. Through this lens, it examines the fine line between brilliance and madness, inviting readers to reconsider their judgments of those who dare to be different.
