Synopsis

A landmark in the development of the twentieth-century novel, the Notebooks is the story of a young Danish aristocrat, told in a series of notes that explore Malte's life in Paris, childhood memories, and reflections in highly crafted poetic prose. A radical departure from literary realism, it is an archetypal confrontation with the modern.
