Description
Since Jean Jacques Rousseau published his Confessions, probably there has not appeared in literature a personal analysis so frank, honest, and merciless as this Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff. A beautiful, high-born girl, endowed with a passionate nature to begin with, thirsting eagerly for life and experience, feeling in her nature both the will and the power to place her name with the immortals, she received, at the very beginning of her career, the cruel arret-de-mort, and under the wings of the angel of death, carved, with unfaltering hand, on her own monument, a name that will live.
-From the Translators' Preface.
