Reflections about the world, life, and books, but mainly about myself: Hebbel's diaries, written from 1835 to 1863, are intimate and hieratic, and represent a place for self-exploration and experimentation, for recording his outlook on life, and for critiquing his times. For the first time, the new edition presents the famed text unabridged, including corrections, amendments, marginalia in their original placement with optimized numbering.
