Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Driven to action by the dreariness of their lives in London, two not-quite friends, in the hopes of finding renewal, plan to rent a medieval Italian castle for a month. They are joined by two other women, a socialite and a dowager, each also seeking a remedy for their dissatisfactions. As the quartet eventually (though not necessarily gracefully) settles in together, they share the beauty and joy of their springtime palace, and each becomes reacquainted with the self they had forgotten. Whether or not the enchantment can carry into their lives and loves in the "real" world is the question. The basis for the film, of the same name, this is a classic to cherish. British novelist ELIZABETH VON ARNIM (1866-1941) wrote numerous books, including Elizabeth and Her German Garden and The Solitary Summer.

Biografía del autor:

British female writer and a known literary figure in Europe, Elizabeth is renowned for her witticism. She is best remembered for her novels which humorously depict different marital problems. Though born in Australia, Elizabeth was brought up in England. She met and married Count Henning August von Arnim, a Prussian aristocrat, in 1889. After his death in 1910, she married John Francis Stanley Russell in 1916; the marriage lasted only 3 years. Elizabeth spent her life in Germany, America, England, Switzerland, and on the French Riviera. Her first novel, Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898), was published anonymously. It was a huge success and was republished 21 times during the very first year of its appearance. It was followed by 20 other novels which include The Solitary Summer (1899), The Caravaners (1909), Vera (1921), and The Enchanted April (1922). She also penned her autobiography titled All the Dogs of My Life which was published in 1936.
