Synopsis

A Special Hardcover Edition toCommemorate the Fiftieth Anniversaryof the Publication ofSylvia Plath's Remarkable Novel

Sylvia Plath 'ssh ocking , realisti c, andintensel y em oti onal novelabout a woman falling intothe grip of insanity

Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful,enormously talented, and successful,but slowly going under—maybefor the last time. In her acclaimed and enduringmasterwork, Sylvia Plath brilliantlydraws the reader into Esther's breakdownwith such intensity that her insanity becomespalpably real, even rational—as accessible anexperience as going to the movies. A deeppenetration into the darkest and most harrowingcorners of the human psyche, The BellJar is an extraordinary accomplishment and ahaunting American classic.

Amazon.com Review
Plath was an excellent poet but is known to many for this largely autobiographical novel. The Bell Jar tells the story of a gifted young woman's mental breakdown beginning during a summer internship as a junior editor at a magazine in New York City in the early 1950s. The real Plath committed suicide in 1963 and left behind this scathingly sad, honest and perfectly-written book, which remains one of the best-told tales of a woman's descent into insanity.
