Description

Witold Gombrowicz's Diary is a remarkable collection of essays, notes, and confessions that span a wide range of subjects, from politics to literature and the human experience of mortality. Beginning with the iconic opening lines "Monday Me. Tuesday Me. Wednesday Me. Thursday Me.", this diary grew into a vast and complex work that showcases the author's brilliant and restless mind. Written over a period of nearly 16 years, the diary is a commentary on the world around the author, rather than a traditional journal. It is a deeply personal and thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of human existence. This edition features a new preface by Rita Gombrowicz, the author's widow and literary executor, and includes ten previously unpublished pages from the 1969 portion of the diary.
