520    "Written in code under constant threat of battle, 
       Wittgenstein's searing and illuminating diaries finally 
       emerge in this first-ever English translation. During the 
       pandemic, Marjorie Perloff, one of our foremost scholars 
       of global literature, found her mind ineluctably drawn to 
       the profound commentary on life and death in the wartime 
       diaries of eminent philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-
       1951). Upon learning that these notebooks, which richly 
       contextualize the early stages of his magnum opus, the 
       Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus, had never before been 
       published in English, the Viennese-born Perloff 
       determinedly set about translating them. Beginning with 
       the anxious summer of 1914, this historic, en-face edition
       presents the first-person recollections of a foot soldier 
       in the Austrian Army, fresh from his days as a philosophy 
       student at Cambridge, who must grapple with the hazing of 
       his fellow soldiers, the stirrings of a forbidden 
       sexuality, and the formation of an explosive analytical 
       philosophy that seemed to draw meaning from his endless 
       brushes with death. Much like Tolstoy's The Gospel in 
       Brief, Private Notebooks takes us on a personal journey to
       discovery as it augments our knowledge of Wittgenstein 
       himself."--|cProvided by publisher.
