The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Warning warning Sylvia plath s writing manner is different she doesn't adulterate things she keeps it raw.. From the very first pages, Plath's voice captivates with its authenticity and profound emotional depth. The journal entries reveal not only her brilliant writing style but also the turbulent landscape of her mind. The juxtaposition of her keen observations on life, love, and art with her personal trials makes for an engrossing read. Plath's candid reflections on her mental health, her tumultuous relationships, notably with Ted Hughes, and her aspiration to succeed in the literary world reflect universal themes of struggle and resilience. One of the most striking aspects of these journals is how they encapsulate the duality of Plath's existence — a passionate, talented woman yearning for recognition and connection while grappling with despair and isolation. Her descriptions of dreams, fears, and aspirations provide a vivid narrative that complements her poetry, allowing readers to see the genesis of the themes that permeate her work. The unabridged nature of this edition is a significant merit, as it includes entries previously omitted from earlier publications. This allows for a fuller understanding of Plath's thought processes and artistic development. Readers can trace the evolution of her literary voice, witness her struggles with identity, and appreciate the way her experiences informed her writing. However, Plath’s openness about her mental health struggles can be challenging to read, especially for those who may share similar battles. Yet, this honesty is also what makes her writing resonate deeply; it’s a testament to her strength and vulnerability. In conclusion, "The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath" is not just for avid fans of her poetry, but for anyone interested in the intricacies of the human experience. This collection deserves a place on the shelves of anyone who seeks to appreciate the trials and triumphs of one of literature's most compelling figures.

Sylvia Plath is my idol and inspiration.Her realistic feminist works are so good and amazing she is a literary genius and her works offered me a view of the nuances if being a woman and what life being a woman can offer you

How wonderful it is that this book stands for everything Plath was, is, and will continue to be in the minds and hearts of her dedicated admirers. She’s truly a remarkable woman, and it is beyond a blessing to be able to read her innermost thoughts through her journal.

Book is great but the outer covering isn’t.

It's lovely to have my favourite book!! But oh, it arrived a bit dusty and like looked aged, even tho it was in an unused condition. I guess they're not that careful while transporting it. I love Sylvia so much though.

It's an AMAZING book. I've been wanting to read this for so long. It mainly deals with depression and Plath's way of dealing with it has resulted in this beautiful journal. The print is clear and pages are nice. Thank you Amazon.

As a book lover, I love to collect books as much as to read.... This book along with another one I ordered, came in a bad condition.. you know the price we pay for a good book is high..so we surely expect it to be in a good condition. The paper quality and all are okay..but the outer cover and the edges werw just in a very bad condition.. the book is ofcourse good.. but the packing..... The worst!!!!!!!!! It would be better to just sent the book without any package at all... Maybe it would arrive in a normal condition.. So I just want to say the book is good...but the packing is very bad..

Pretty, but came with minor defects. The book also doesnt seem very strong, since it bends very easily in places it shouldn't. Can't wait to read it though!

An indispensable companion to her poetry, her bell-jar writ large, and the two volumes of her letters. How we wish that the phantom journal could come to life!

i loveee the paperback, my copy has no flaws whatsoever

Ottimo prodotto 👍

Okładka wygląda inaczej niż na zdjęciu. Sylvia Plath jest różowa z jakiegoś powodu. Okładka jest podrapana w wielu miejscach.
