Publisher's Synopsis

A Last Diary is a book written by W. N. P. Barbellion and published in 1921. It is a collection of diary entries written by the author during the last few months of his life. Barbellion was a pseudonym for Bruce Frederick Cummings, a British naturalist and writer who died at the age of 30 from multiple sclerosis. In the book, Barbellion reflects on his life, his illness, and his impending death. He writes candidly about his physical and emotional struggles, his relationships with his family and friends, and his thoughts on religion, philosophy, and literature. The diary entries are both poignant and humorous, and provide a unique glimpse into the mind of a young man facing his own mortality. A Last Diary is considered a classic of modern literature and has been praised for its honesty, insight, and literary style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
