A Last Diary (1921)

W. N. P. Barbellion

A Last Diary (1921) is a book written by W. N. P. Barbellion, a pseudonym used by Bruce Frederick Cummings. The book is a collection of diary entries that Barbellion wrote in the last few months of his life. He was suffering from multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease that affects the nervous system. The diary entries are a mixture of personal reflections, observations on the world around him, and musings on death and the afterlife. Barbellion writes with a frankness and honesty that is both moving and unsettling. He is not afraid to confront the reality of his situation and the inevitability of his own death. Despite the bleakness of his circumstances, Barbellion maintains a sense of humor and a keen appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. He writes about the changing seasons, the birds and animals he observes from his window, and the simple pleasures of life. A Last Diary is a poignant and thought-provoking book that offers a glimpse into the mind of a man facing his own mortality. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity and a reminder of the fragility of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
