Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

This is an enchanting and wonderfully evocative memoir of Anny Thackeray, daughter of the author of Vanity Fair, aunt of Virginia Woolf (who used her as the model for Mrs Hilberry in Night and Day). Anny was a writer herself and her novels and memoirs were much praised, but she was even more dearly loved for her eccentric, astoundingly muddled ways and her enormous sympathy for others. At the book's heart are two interwoven stories. The first is Anny's near-obsession with her father, Thackeray, and her startling marriage to a man who was not only eighteen years her junior, but was her second-cousin, and even her godson (they fell in love when he was still at school). The second, tragic strand is the tale of her sister Minny's passionate marriage to Leslie Stephen, the craggy, moody, mountain-climbing father of Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf. The book also, inevitably, paints the world of Anny's intricate web of relations and friends - children's parties with the Dickens family, chaotic holidays with Julia Margaret Cameron and the Tennysons on the Isle of Wight, a dash to help a spinster aunt stuck in Paris during the siege of 1870, intimate scenes with Browning in Rome and Ruskin on Lake Coniston. All these people appear in a different, more personal light than we are used to. Henrietta Garnett is herself related to Anny - this is a family story, drawing not only on a wealth of letters, journals, hitherto unpublished sketches and photographs, but also on the treasure of family legends passed down through three generations. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
