Lately as far as toughening of prohibitive and censorial laws, in a discussion that it is possible and that can not be represented in literature, painting, photo and other types of art, gradually the concept of psychiatric illness and norm enters again. We want to remind that a discussion between "normal" inhabitants and "reckless" innovators is old, as well as our civilization, and that although free work easily flies over sham paper fences proposed by the textbooks of psychiatry, a dispute about nature of human consciousness was always enriched due to two types of sources : artistic and scientific.This edition was entered by three books published in Russia in 1913-1914 and since not reprinted. Collection is opened by the book of Alexander Закржевского "Knights of madness (futurists) " (Kyiv, 1914), элегантнейший hymn to futurism and futurists with a review actual on a that moment artistic tendencies. The second book in our collection is work of psychiatrist Evgeny Радина "Futurism and madness" of СПб, 1914), delicate enough critical research modern to the author of futurism from the point of view of psychiatry. The book of Nikolay Вавулина (СПб, 1913) is presented in the third part, about nature of madness and work - theme indisputably, investigational yet not enough.
