| Summary |
"Journal et fragments" by Eugénie de Guérin is a collection of personal journals and fragments written during the early to mid-19th century. The work reflects the life and thoughts of Eugénie, who expressed intimate feelings about her family, particularly her brother Maurice, and her observations on nature and daily life. This collection not only captures her inner emotional landscape but also illustrates the simplicity and profundity of her existence. The beginning of the journal reveals Eugénie's deep bond with her brother, Maurice, and sets the tone for her reflections on life in their rural setting. She starts her entries on November 15, 1834, discussing recent letters from loved ones and the duality of joy and sorrow in her life. Eugénie writes about her experiences with illness in her community, her tender memories of family, and the contemplative nature of her existence. As she grapples with themes of faith, mortality, and the beauty of everyday moments, her prose conveys a serene acceptance of life’s fleetingness, hinting at her inner struggles as well as her capacity for joy amidst solitude.
