Esther’s Journal: Or A Tale Of Swiss Pension Life (1876) is a novel written by an anonymous author who goes by the name ''A Resident''. The book is a first-person account of the experiences of a young Englishwoman named Esther who decides to spend a summer at a Swiss pension, a type of boarding house or guesthouse that was popular among wealthy travelers in the 19th century.Throughout the book, Esther writes in her journal about her daily routines, her interactions with the other guests and staff at the pension, and her observations of Swiss culture and society. She also reflects on her own thoughts and feelings, particularly as she becomes romantically involved with a fellow guest named Mr. B.As Esther navigates the ups and downs of her summer in Switzerland, she encounters various challenges and surprises, including a mysterious illness that strikes some of the other guests and a dramatic confrontation between Mr. B and another man. Along the way, she learns more about herself and the world around her, and ultimately comes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of human relationships and emotions.Overall, Esther’s Journal offers a vivid and engaging portrait of life in a Swiss pension during the Victorian era, as well as a compelling story of love, friendship, and self-discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
