Suicide (book)
Suicide (French: Le Suicide) was one of the groundbreaking books in the field of sociology. Written by French sociologist Émile Durkheim and published in 1897 it was ostensibly a case study of suicide, a publication unique for its time which provided an example of what the sociological monograph should look like. Some argue that it is not a case study and that this is what makes it unique among other scholarly work on the same subject.
