Spanning over four decades, from 1939 to 1983, these personal diaries reveal Burton in his most private moments, pondering his triumphs and demons, his loves and heartbreaks. Written in his own hand, the diary entries offer a unique glimpse into the life of a man who was both a Hollywood star and a voracious reader, with a passion for books that led him to haunt bookstores in every city he visited. The diaries are annotated to clarify people, places, books, and events, providing a rich and multi-dimensional portrait of Burton's life. This volume provides a fascinating insight into the life of a man who was both a celebrity and a complex individual, struggling with the challenges of a life lived largely in the spotlight.
