Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A superb collection of portraits, sketched with all the visual power of a practitioner of painting; and though anecdotes abound it is also a contemplative work held together by a firmly disciplined vision" (Hugh Cecil Spectator)

"He confesses that he found it difficult to write about people whom he knew so well, but nobody has described them better...His book displays affection, great good humour and impeccable taste...Its purpose is not to preach, but to entertain. It certainly does" (Nigel Nicolson Daily Telegraph)

Reseña del editor:

In this sparkling voulme Quentin Bell provides a remarkable collection of pen portraits - of his parents Vanessa and Clive; of his aunt and uncle, Virginia and Leonard Woolf; of Roger Fry, E.M.Forster, Ottoline Morrell, Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey and many more.

In writing about them he also tells the story of his own work: his employment as agricultural labourer, his career as artist - in two and three dimensions - and teacher of art, critic, writer, and as reluctant spokesman of Bloomsbury.
