Life's Misses: In praise of a life we ​​did not live

The untried life is certainly a life worth living, but is the unlived life worth experiencing? This question seems strange until one realizes that any amount of our so-called mental lives are lives we do not live, lives we could have lived but did not live for one reason or another. The book addresses this idea from the perspective of psychoanalysis, through a deep and striking analysis of aspects in famous literary works (King Lear - Othello - The End of a Relationship - Macbeth - A Madman's Diary) expressed in the book's title; He changes the common perspective on what he calls the wastes of life.
