Jan Morris was born in 1926 of a Welsh father and an English mother. She spent the last years of her life with her partner Elizabeth Morris in the top left-hand corner of Wales, between the mountains and the sea. Her books include Coronation Everest, Venice, the Pax Britannica trilogy and Conundrum. She was also the author of six books about cities and countries, two autobiographical books, several volumes of collected travel essays and the unclassifiable Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere. She was recognized in 2018 for her outstanding contribution to travel writing by the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards. In the same year, In My Mind's Eye: A Thought Diary was published. It was followed by a second volume of diaries, Thinking Again, in 2020, and then her posthumously published final book, Allegorizings, in 2021.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I was three or perhaps four years old when I realized that I had been born into the wrong body, and should really be a girl.The great travel writer Jan Morris was born James Morris. He distinguished himself as a wartime soldier and became one of the century's most daring reporters, climbing mountains and crossing deserts. To all appearances, he was happily married with several children. But appearances can be misleading. James had known since childhood that at heart he was a woman.Conundrum is the story of Morris' secret life and struggle for authenticity, as he embarks on experimental surgery to discover who he really is.One of the first ever accounts of gender transition when first published in 1974, this is the blazingly honest account of perhaps Morris' greatest adventure: the decade-long journey to becoming a woman.\*Faber also publish Sara Wheeler's celebrated new biography Jan Morris: A Life\*.
