Published shortly before the author's death in 1919, The Journal of a Disappointed Man presents a remarkable memoir that addresses struggles with poverty, inadequate education, and the creeping paralysis of multiple sclerosis. Yet author W. N. P. Barbellion manages to write with uplifting eloquence and passion of his love for family, natural history, music, and literature. Told with a thoroughly modern voice, the unjustly overlooked Journal is reprinted here with its posthumous successor, A Last Diary. This edition features a thoughtful Introduction by H. G. Wells, who writes of the book's exquisite beauty.
W. N. P. Barbellion (1889-1919), whose real name was Bruce Frederick Cummings, was a naturalist who worked in the Entomology Department of London's Natural History Museum. Upon attempting to enlist in the British Army during World War I, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The discovery of his disease intensified the tenor of his journal-keeping, and his frank and articulate reflections on coping with a fatal illness remain a powerful testament to his life and struggles.

LOVE!!!!!
I LOVE this bag so much!! I carry it everyday to work! It holds so much - purse, laptop, tablet, snacks & that’s just the inside. All of the pockets on the outside is what really sold me & they’re great! I can carry all my drinks and still have my hands free! I also get SO many compliments on it! I highly recommend!

Beautiful and Useful
My Cloudmusic tote is ready to walk out the door! Holds couple bottles of wine, plates, cutlery, plastic glasses, salt and pepper, cutting board/knife, bottle opener, cute towel, napkins, bag of essential fruit, hand wash, sanitized wipes, ummmm what else should I take. Perfect for travel. It's first trip will be a girls trip of antique shops, museum and wonderful restaurants at a darling little AB&B house.

Absolutely the best toe I've ever owned
There are plenty of pockets and even when it's full it's light weight - I don't know how it does it but I am not burdened down when I have it filled with my thing including a laptop! You now hoe family members ask "Can you put this in y our purse?" Well there are plenty of pockets - nothing will get lost in the bottom of your purse ever again.
