Spiridonova, Zh. V. Genius as a Life Style

Abstract: Despite tons of scientific literature the question about origin of creativity still remains topical and so does the question about the connection between creativity and deviation from the norm. Jean-Paul Sartre used to say that genius is not a gift but a way out of desperate situations. This is where the tragedy of life and creative work by great people arise from. It is also necessary to draw parallels between creativity and spiritual sufferings. So what is the connection between life and creative work of a writer and a gifted person in general?
