Unas originales memorias narradas a través de los perros que la autora tuvo a lo largo de su vida.Como deja bien claro Elizabeth von Arnim en estas espléndidas memorias, el amor humano es voluble, y el que brindan los perros a sus amos, inquebrantable. A sus 70 años, Von Arnim pasa revista a maridos, amantes y amigos, pero hace especial hincapié en el retrato de sus perros que, en su opinión, ponen de manifiesto la mezquindad de los hombres. Unas memorias rebosantes de ironía y lucidez en todas sus páginas. This book is terrific for animal lovers. Others may find it quaint and sentimental.. I loved it. It is a sort of biography of the author by way of the dogs she's owned. So... one learns that the author was once married to a much older German count. We never know too much about this man, only about the relationship she has with the count's first wife's dog. There is a bit of a pragmatic nature to some of the 14 stories she tells about her dogs. Some of the stories are absolute romances. I promise, a couple of them will make one tear up or even weep. A perfect light read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From Bijou, her very first dog, to Chunkie and Knobbie, her favourite, and last, canine companions, Elizabeth von Arnim takes us through the complex journey of her life. From her Pomeranian idyll (encapsulated in her first novel, Elizabeth and Her German Garden ) to less happy days in London following the death of her first husband; from the solitude of her Swiss mountain hideaway, to World War I and a disastrous second marriage, her dogs (or lack of) were always vital to her. Through them, Elizabeth von Arnim offers observations on life and society. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
