Synopsis "The Bell jar"

I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.

Sylvia Plath''s groundbreaking semi-autobiographical novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into mental illness. The Bell Jar broke the boundaries between fiction and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath''s place as an enduring feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one''s rightful place in the world.

A special illustrated edition – the second book in our collection of illustrated Faber classics.

Sylvia Plath (Boston, October 27, 1932-London, February 11, 1963) was an American writer and poet. Considered one of the practitioners of the confessional poetry genre, her most famous works are her poetry collections The Colossus and Ariel and her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" four months before her suicide. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, who after her death took charge of the editing of her complete poetry. In 1982, she won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Plath studied at Smith College in Massachusetts and, after receiving a Fulbright Scholarship, at Newnham College in Cambridge.
