Lei cosi amata

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £5.47
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Annemarie fu scrittrice, fotografa, giornalista; colta, ricca e bellissima, "sembrava incarnare tutta la storia d'Europa". Sullo sfondo della società letteraria cosmopolita degli anni Trenta fu una donna sempre in attesa, in fuga, che non smetteva mai di cercare: parole per i suoi libri, immagini per i suoi reportage, donne da sedurre, uomini da incantare. Senza realizzare mai il suo sogno di vivere di scrittura. Avrebbe potuto avere una vita agiata e oziosa invece ha scelto di portare il suo corpo androgino, il volto nobile, i fluenti capelli biondi tagliati corti continuamente in viaggio: ha attraversato l'Europa in guerra, l'Afganistan, l'Iran, il Congo da sola per far fotografie, alla ricerca di un senso. Scelse di essere fedele a se stessa pagandone le conseguenze. Ruppe con la famiglia, con una madre che detestava la sua libertà, e scivolò in una vita errabonda, in amicizie appassionate e distruttive, come quella con i terribili figli di Thomas Mann che la iniziarono alla tossicodipendenza, fino alla morte. Melania Mazzucco, con "Lei così amata", toglie dall'oblio "una vita che riassume in sé i grandi classici delle esperienze della gioventù del '900: dalla ribellione contro la società borghese, al desiderio di essere eterni adolescenti, senza doveri e responsabilità. Eppure è anche la storia di un'utopia: di essere salvati dalla scrittura. Quella che si infila nelle crepe della vita".
