Pubblicato poco prima della morte dell'autore nel 1919, questo straordinario libro di memorie affronta le lotte contro la povertà, l'istruzione inadeguata e la paralisi strisciante della sclerosi multipla. Eppure Barbellion riesce ancora a scrivere con eloquenza edificante e passione del suo amore per la famiglia, la storia naturale, la musica e la letteratura. Raccontato con una voce completamente moderna, il Journal ingiustamente trascurato è qui ristampato con il suo successore postumo, A Last Diary. Introduzione di HG Wells.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Published shortly before the author's death in 1919, The Journal of a Disappointed Man presents a remarkable memoir that addresses struggles with poverty, inadequate education, and the creeping paralysis of multiple sclerosis. Yet author W. N. P. Barbellion manages to write with uplifting eloquence and passion of his love for family, natural history, music, and literature. Told with a thoroughly modern voice, the unjustly overlooked Journal is reprinted here with its posthumous successor, A Last Diary. This edition features a thoughtful Introduction by H. G. Wells, who writes of the book's "exquisite beauty." AUTHOR: W. N. P. Barbellion (18891919), whose real name was Bruce Frederick Cummings, was a naturalist who worked in the Entomology Department of London's Natural History Museum. Upon attempting to enlist in the British Army during World War I, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The discovery of his disease intensified the tenor of his journal-keeping, and his frank and articulate reflections on coping with a fatal illness remain a powerful testament to his life and struggles. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780486817392
