Diary of a Seducer - Hardcover
Kierkegaard's renowned excursion into literature is the gripping narrative of a man who explores his own sense of detachment by deliberately arousing the passion of a young society girl whom he first sees fleetingly across the street from him. Since it was first published over 150 years ago, The Diary of a Seducer has been the grist for many a philosopher and critic's mill.

About the Author:
One of the definitive Western philosophers of the nineteenth century, Soren Kierkegaard was born in Copenhagen in 1813 and studied theology, philosophy, and literature, devoting himself to a solitary life of writing soon after the death of his father in 1838. His philosophical, literary, and mystical writings have had a lasting influence, foreshadowing Existentialism and many contemporary philosophies.
Review:
