Amiel's Journal: The Journal In Time of Henri Frédéric Amiel - Volume Two is the personal diary of this Swiss philosopher and poet who died in 1881, translated into English by Humphrey Ward. This is Volume Two of Amiel's journal writings. As such, there is no introduction by Ward included. The book begins with Amiel writing in April of 1868, and includes diary entries from the author up until April of 1881, mere days before the philosopher's death. As this is the publication of a personal journal, most of the writing consists of personal reflections. Amiel provides his opinion not only on various philosophical topics, including God, the nature of existence, and ethics, but also of contemporary writers, musicians, and artists, the author managing to include profound musings in almost every entry. The book concludes with a short appendix written by translator Ward, as well as a detailed index of topics discussed. Henri Frédéric Amiel is one of the least well-known brilliant minds of the last two hundred years. While the philosopher was never widely read during his life, and is now only known to the most ardent students of modern philosophy, his writings are highly engaging. Amiel's Journal is a book that deserves to be read slowly, allowing time for the reader to deeply consider the thoughts of this great thinker. While his work is rarely celebrated, Henri Frédéric Amiel was a great philosopher. Readers of philosophic works owe it to themselves to add Amiel's Journal: The Journal In Time of Henri Frédéric Amiel - Volume Two to their library. This is a highly engaging book, and one that deserves far more credit than it has ever received. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Where no other name is mentioned, Geneva is to be understood as the authors place of residence. Wth A pril 1868 (M ornex sur Saleve). I left town in a great storm of wind, which was raising clouds of dust along the suburban roads, and two hours later I found myself safely installed among the mountains, just like last year. I think of staying a week here. .. .T he sounds of the village are wafted to my open window, barkings of distant dogs, voices of women at the fountain, the songs of birds in the lower orchards. The green carpet of the plain is dappled by passing shadows thrown upon it by the clouds; the landscape has the charm of delicate tint and a sort of languid grace.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
