A major discovery: The lost diary of a great mind—and an intimate, deeply moving study of grief
The day after his mother's death in October 1977, the influential philosopher Roland Barthes began a diary of mourning. Taking notes on index cards as was his habit, he reflected on a new solitude, on the ebb and flow of sadness, and on modern society's dismissal of grief. These 330 cards, published here for the first time, prove a skeleton key to the themes he tackled throughout his work. Behind the unflagging mind, "the most consistently intelligent, important, and useful literary critic to have emerged anywhere" (Susan Sontag), lay a deeply sensitive man who cherished his mother with a devotion unknown even to his closest friends.

Hardcover. Zustand: As new. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As new. first edition. Roland Barthes ? the French literary critic, theorist and philosopher ? died an absurd death. In 1980 he was hit by a laundry van in Paris, while walking home from a lunch given by François Mitterrand, the future president of France, and died a few weeks later. What the world didn't know was that Barthes, the day after his mother's death on Oct. 25, 1977, began keeping a diary of his suffering, written mostly in ink on small individual slips of paper. Those slips have now been gathered up by Barthes's longtime translator, Richard Howard, and ushered into print. Like new, first American printing. 5½" - 7¾". book. Artikel-Nr. 277616
