About this listen

Discover the poignant journey of British naturalist Bruce Frederick Cummings through his captivating journal, which chronicles his life from childhood to the tragic end brought on by multiple sclerosis. This diary artfully weaves together exquisite, poetic reflections on the beauty of the natural world with profound, introspective thoughts that echo the style of Kafka. While the diaries enjoyed a mix of acclaim and controversy upon their 1919 release, their allure has diminished alongside the waning interest in naturalism and diary writing. Yet, Cummings modern confessional voice resonates with readers, offering unforgettable and deeply moving insights that linger long after the last page. - Summary by Adam Whybray
