Arthur J. Cummings：巴贝利昂的日记是他自我表达的途径，是他灵魂的秘密房间。他早期的日记是自发的，不追求效果，是他自己的一部分。他会本能地、习惯性地写下他最深的想法和最轻微的印象。在《A Last Diary》中，巴贝利昂回忆了许多有趣的青春片段，并以作者的细心润色了文风。他认为，写完这样一本书后，没有人敢继续活下去。巴贝利昂的思维一直保持着非凡的力量和活力，他的眼睛里始终带着一种充满疑问的活泼神情。他鄙视自己的身体，因为它阻碍了他对难以捉摸的事物的追求。巴贝利昂对所有科学和哲学体系持怀疑态度，科学处理的是经验宇宙，不可能达到终极真理。他认为，我们每个人都是微不足道的，但作为人类，我们是一个伟大的、不朽的有机体。他贪婪地渴望原始的生活，渴望捕捉和理解整个宇宙。巴贝利昂的症状是真实的症状，他的疾病是一种非常真实的疾病，从一开始就影响了他身体的几乎每个器官。他很少谈论他的身体不适，除非带着某种扭曲的幽默感。他是一个半死不活的人，但他却比任何人都活得更精彩。 Arthur J. Cummings：巴贝利昂并非一个纯粹的、赤裸裸的、完全的自我主义者，他总是从不同的角度审视自己，但他从不确定当时的观点是否是真实的。他渴望拆除所有阻碍人与人之间了解的障碍，并以坦诚的态度对待他人。巴贝利昂对自己的健康方面唯一可以被认为是最病态的观点是，他坚信自己的虚弱是遗传性的。他对自己感兴趣，但对其他人也同样感兴趣。巴贝利昂在知道自己患有不治之症的情况下结婚，并不是一种自私和可鄙的行为。巴贝利昂于 1919 年 10 月 22 日去世，享年 31 岁，他很高兴去世，因为生活一直“像一个愤怒的人一样追赶他到最后”。人们对日记的友善以及许多人理解其含义的事实，完全改变了他的 outlook，他知道善良是最重要的事情。

Imagine settling into the warm glow of your favorite listening nook as a calm, resonant voice draws you into the world of W. N. P. Barbellion’s A Last Diary, where every entry reads like a private letter from a soul determined to seize joy in the face of mortality. From the first gentle tones of the narrator, you’re swept into Barbellion’s gorgeously candid reflections on the wonders of nature, the quirkiness of human ambition, and the subtle triumphs of a mind unbowed by illness. As you follow him through misty mornings spent sketching the sky and sleepless nights spent wrestling with the weight of his own body, the audiobook’s seamless pacing and expressive inflections breathe new life into his sharp wit, tender humor and unflinching honesty. You’ll feel the thrill of his intellectual wanderings, the ache of his deepest vulnerabilities, and the quiet victories of finding purpose in every fleeting moment. Perfect for anyone who craves a memoir that is as profound as it is uplifting, this audiobook edition of A Last Diary transforms Barbellion’s brief but blazing journey into an immersive experience—one that reminds you how richly alive we can be, even when time is short.
