From Ruins to Mourning is the fourth of books by Zuzana Karasová and the first one in interdisciplinary fields of architecture, visual arts, literature, philosophy, psychology, and self-analysis. Interestingly, she observes that, "I wanted to begin this book with the question whether ruins are materially stimulated or not. Now I understand that in the first instance I should ask how people might have changed themselves had they chosen working on the ruins instead of operating at their impressions."This book reads like narrative rather than an aesthetical or art-historical study setting it apart from the other studies on ruins thus far. There are passages of conjured brief discussions throughout the text to give it a flow and portions of the author's interview she had given to a radio station providing an insight into the theme of motion in the visual arts. Trained as an art historian herself specialized in the nineteenth-century, she says, "for an idea that the nineteenth century got ruins civilized on scientific principles can be taken for granted. Nineteenth-century architects must be allowed to exercise their own discretion in choosing a suitable restoration plan. And we may criticize the restoration and even be without it."
