Publisher's Synopsis
Amiel's Journal is a collection of personal writings from Henri Frederic Amiel, a Swiss philosopher and poet. Originally published in 1889, the book is a compilation of entries from Amiel's private journal, which he kept for over 20 years. The journal provides an intimate look into Amiel's thoughts, emotions, and experiences, as he reflects on his life, relationships, and the world around him. Amiel grapples with questions of identity, purpose, and meaning, and explores his own spiritual and philosophical beliefs. The journal is notable for its lyrical prose and introspective style, and has been praised for its insights into the human condition. This edition includes an introduction by the translator, Mrs. Humphry Ward, that provides context for Amiel's life and work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
