Description

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

‘What does love fear? Limitation.’

Johannes stealthily pursues Cordelia through the streets of Copenhagen, and through an intricate, manipulative courtship contrives to possess her. Motivated not by love or sex but by sensation and experiment, he seeks to make the object of his desire desire him – and then to retreat. At once a captivating story and philosophical exploration of existence’s entanglements, The Seducer’s Diary is also an excoriating reconstruction of Kierkegaard’s own romantic failures.
