The only difference between a madman and me is that the madman believes he is not, while I know that I am. Salvador Dalí. The Russian writer Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was a victim of intense anxieties and showed in his Diary of a Madman - published in 1834 - the development of a clinical picture compatible with what today would be called schizophrenia. It narrates the story of a bureaucrat who, through the various humiliations he suffers, experiences erotic and insane disorders. In October 2012, actor Mario Iván Martínez, in collaboration with director Luly Rede, staged a joint adaptation of this text at the Teatro Helénico.
