This English author, writing under the pseudonym W. N. P. Barbellion, left a unique literary legacy through his diary entries. His style evolved from precise naturalistic observations to a deeply personal and literary expression, reflecting his struggles with illness. His published works are an intimate testament to an inner life, filled with keen observations and an original philosophy. His diaries offer readers a raw and honest look at human existence and resilience.
Published shortly before the author's death in 1919, this remarkable memoir addresses struggles with poverty and illness yet teems with uplifting eloquence and passion. Includes posthumous successor, A Last Diary.
