Man Into Woman
In my opinion, there are lot's of reasons which make this book a unique one(at least for me) but if some examples should be given, the first one is that Lili Elbe is the real author of her autobiographical novel and the other reason is that this novel is the first book which is totally about the first sex change in the world. What makes this book interesting, affecting or unique is her being in the pursuit of her dreams even though it is thought to be impossible to change one's sex in the duration she lived. Though her story was full of troubles, it was wonderful one which left an enormous impact on me. I recommend y'all to read it.

The End
With a trembling voice Lili Elbe read the passage : "When I myself am no longer here, I want my sad book of love to be my legacy, a testimony that I once lived. I imagine that this book will be read, read as few books are, by all who are unhappy in love, into whose hands it shall fall year after year, and I feel as if I could shake them all by the hand. And I have such an unspeak- able longing; it is in fact the only longing that I have, to say farewell to all-oh, none can realize what ultimate peace this would be for me."

"...Frequently the question plagues me: Have I had only a past, or have I had no past at all? Or have I only a future without a past?"

"What will life now bring her? Will the miracle of the doctor, the miracle of his art, be great and strong enough to be perpetuated in Lili's life ? All of us have been instruments of this fate. I not least. For it was I who many years ago enticed Lili out of Andreas, in wanton play, as a chance masquerade ! And it was I who continued playing this game with Andreas, until what had been play became earnest, most mysteriously earnest. But I must not think of this now; I cannot help thinking of the one person who never really believed in Andreas, but only in Lili, Lili's most intimate friend, Claude Lejeune. What will he think when he sees her again?"

Only now and then the question would surge up in his mind, "Who am I? What am I? What was I? What shall I become?"

Slowly he undressed. He stood nude in front of the mirror. He thought of an expression he had used that evening : "I am like one who only owns the façade of his house." The mirror in front of him showed him the façade. It was the unblemished body of a man.
