While writing this story, I will be as truthful and honest as possible in describing my thoughts and actions immediately prior to being admitted to the hospital. It was at this time that I completely lost all sense of reality and started to live in the world of my thoughts, where I create my own reality. I will include notes from hospitals, so-called epicrisis (a critical or analytical summing up especially of a medical case history), and comments from friends and relatives. It all began in January 2006, ten years ago. At that point, I had successfully finished my education at Riga City Pavnieku Gymnasium and was studying political science at the University of Latvia. After the first year in university, I had the opportunity to go to Denmark and study European democracy and politics at Folkehojskole. As the programme was relevant to my studies at university, my tutors agreed, and I would be able to continue in my group when I returned. I thought I was going to continue with my coursework from Latvia while in Denmark, but I realised that they were two different, unrelated courses. Returning to Latvia, I soon realised I was not ready to take the ongoing examinations; and although my group mate had regularly sent me course notes, I did not bother to study or pay attention. I remember very clearly that day when I had to go to university, but I chose the easiest option and stayed at home. I thought I could take a year out from university, relax, enjoy my life, and teach children dancing. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

Celtic mythology is a rich and intricate diverse world, a captivating realm where deities and humans interact amidst mystical environments and celestial conflicts. Rooted predominantly in the ancient cultures of Ireland and Wales, this mythology serves as a compendium of stories, a cultural and spiritual mirror reflecting the Celtic people's values, traditions, and laws. By delving into the extensive range of Celtic myths, particularly the mythological, Ulster, and Fenian cycles in Ireland and the Mabinogion in Wales, we can uncover the profound influence these myths have had on European literary and cultural development. The primary method of transmitting these stories was oral, posing a significant challenge to studying Celtic myths. The religious perspectives of the scribes, particularly Christian monks, have left a significant imprint on these texts, but they remain crucial for our understanding. Irish literature draws from significant sources such as 'The Book of Invasions' and 'The Book of Leinster,' while Welsh literature relies on an important source known as 'Mabinogion.' Roman historians provide additional external narratives that contribute to understanding the Celts in a wider context of ancient European history. Unravelling these sources requires a nuanced approach to differentiate the authentic pagan elements from the Christian additions. The Celtic pantheon features diverse deities who govern various aspects of existence and the natural realm. In Irish mythology, the Dagda embodies paternal dominion and jurisdiction over the cycles of life and death, whereas Morrigan signifies the supremacy and inevitability of warfare. According to Welsh mythology, Arawn is the sovereign of the Otherworld, and Bran the Blessed is a colossal king with deep ties to the land and its well-being. The Celts' gods frequently engage with humans, often directly intervening in their destinies, highlighting the Celts' perception of the cosmos as a profoundly interconnected domain. The Mythological Cycle in Ireland narrates the tales of ancient deities and their conflicts, including the Tuatha Dé Danann, celestial beings who eventually assimilate into Irish civilisation as the forefathers of the contemporary Irish people after being conquered by the Milesians. The purpose of this cycle is twofold: to document Ireland's legendary history and to assert a divine entitlement to the land and its governance.

The rhetorical trope of irony is well-trod territory, with books and essays devoted to its use by a wide range of medieval and Renaissance writers, from the Beowulf-poet and Chaucer to Boccaccio and Shakespeare; however, the use of sarcasm, the "flesh tearing" form of irony, in the same literature has seldom been studied at length or in depth. Sarcasm is notoriously difficult to pick out in a written text, since it relies so much on tone of voice and context. This is the first book-length study of medieval and Renaissance sarcasm. Its fourteen essays treat instances in a range of genres, both sacred and secular, and of cultures from Anglo-Saxon to Arabic, where the combination of circumstance and word choice makes it absolutely clear that the speaker, whether a character or a narrator, is being sarcastic. Essays address, among other things, the clues writers give that sarcasm is at work, how it conforms to or deviates from contemporary rhetorical theories, what role it plays in building character or theme, and how sarcasm conforms to the Christian milieu of medieval Europe, and beyond to medieval Arabic literature. The collection thus illuminates a half-hidden but surprisingly common early literary technique for modern readers.
