# The Journal of a Disappointed Man

By W. N. P. Barbellion.

"The Journal of a Disappointed Man" by W. N. P. Barbellion is a volume of journal entries published in 1919. Written by English naturalist Bruce Frederick Cummings under a pen name, this intimate diary chronicles a life marked by illness and unfulfilled ambitions. The author described it as "a study in the nude," offering raw personal reflections that stirred controversy upon publication. It became the best-known personal account of multiple sclerosis, dividing readers who either condemned it as immoral or celebrated it as a work of genius.
