The Alienist is a work that upended the notion of psychological thrillers. The author, Caleb Carr, masterfully combines historical detective with an in-depth analysis of the human psyche. In the uneasy New York of 1896, where streetlights barely penetrate the gloom, mysterious murders of prostitutes occur. It is here that Lazlo Kreisler, an alienist, comes to the stage, a representative of a completely new science for that time - psychoanalysis. Kreisler does not just solve crimes, he examines the killer like a psychologist, trying to understand his motives through complex mechanisms of the mind.

"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 work makes you think about the nature of evil, about the boundaries between the norm and the anomaly, about what makes us human. The Alienist is a book that will stay with you for a long time after you finish it, forcing you to rethink the world around you and yourself.
