This is an Arabic translation, by Abbas Al-Mufraji (عباس المفرجي), of The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath — the complete diaries Sylvia Plath kept from 1950 until shortly before her death in 1963, edited from the original manuscripts by Karen V. Kukil and first published in English in 2000.
The journals trace Plath's life from an ambitious, restless student at Smith College through her years at Cambridge, her marriage to fellow poet Ted Hughes, and early motherhood in England. Roughly sixty percent of this material had never appeared in print before, restoring passages cut from the heavily abridged 1982 volume authorized by Hughes.
Read alongside her poetry, the diaries function as a working notebook of a writer building the craft and confidence that would produce Ariel: entries move between sharp self-criticism, literary ambition, domestic frustration, and moments of real joy, alongside unguarded passages about depression and an earlier suicide attempt. They remain one of the most candid first-person records left by a major twentieth-century poet.
