The Glass Bell - Sylvia Plath

A novel about a young poet contemplating suicide, written by a poet who had often contemplated suicide before carrying out her idea in the prime of her youth. The shadow of terror created by the eternal misunderstanding between man and the world spreads across the pages of this novel, to the point where it seems as if we deal with others from behind glass. No one can touch or feel anyone else, and there is a transparent but heavy layer separating us from each other, as if man is left in existential isolation even while living in the bosom of others.
