Journal de deuil 26 octobre 1977-15 septembre 1979

Following the death of his mother, Roland Barthes began a private journal, chronicling his profound grief from October 1977 to September 1979. In these intimate pages, he reflects on loss, memory, and the enduring presence of absence, even placing an icon and fresh flowers in the room where she passed. This deeply personal work offers a raw and introspective look into the mourning process of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers.
