Diary of a Seducer

Diary of a Seducer by Amanda Harlech

Diary of a Seducer is the disturbing narrative of a man who explores his sense of detachment by deliberately arousing the passion of a young society girl. At the core of the Diary lies the conflict between the narrator’s philosophical and intellectual search for aesthetic pleasure and the depth of suffering this ultimately inflicts.Inspired by events in Kierkegaard’s own life that are still shrouded in mystery this story is a vivid exploration of the complex psychology of cruelty and love. Diary of a Seducer is an autonomous part of the philosophical work Either/Or, which was published in 1843 and brought the author immediate fame.

A thinker of wit and elegance, his ability to live with paradox and his desire to think about individuals as free have given him great purchase in the modern world and he is known as the father of Existentialism -- Melvyn Bragg Pushkin Press's smartly-presented new edition makes an appealing introduction to his work, complete with an afterword by the translator The Observer

Søren Kierkegaard was born in 1813 in Copenhagen and studied theology, philosophy and literature. He was deeply affected by the death of his father in 1838 and in 1841 decided that marriage was incompatible with his solitary nature. He devoted the rest of his life to writing until his death in 1855.
