By Frederick Marryat

Book Overview

""Diary of a Blas�����"" is a novel written by Frederick Marryat and first published in 1836. The book is a satirical look at the life of a young man living in London society during the early 19th century. The protagonist, Charles, is a wealthy and privileged young man who spends his days attending parties, socializing with friends, and pursuing romantic relationships. However, he is also deeply dissatisfied with his life and feels a sense of ennui and boredom that he cannot shake. The novel is written in the form of a diary, with Charles recording his thoughts and experiences over the course of several months. Through his observations and interactions with others, the book offers a commentary on the shallow and superficial nature of high society and the emptiness of a life devoted solely to pleasure and self-indulgence. Despite its critical tone, the book is also humorous and entertaining, with Marryat's sharp wit and clever writing style making for an enjoyable read. Overall, ""Diary of a Blas�����"" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy during the 19th century, and a timeless commentary on the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
