Ammonites and Leaping Fish
Autor Penelope Livelyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2024
'Clever and poignant . . . there is much to enjoy. This is Lively at her best'Sunday Express
In this powerful and compelling 'view from old age', Penelope Lively, at eighty, reports back on what she finds. There are meditations on what it is like to be old as well as on how memory shapes us. There are intriguing examinations of key personal as well as historical moments she has lived through and her thoughts on her own bookishness - both as reader and writer. Lastly, she turns to six treasured possessions to speak eloquently about who she is and where she's been - fragments of memories from a life well lived.
'A superb study of memory and of her own voyage into the ninth decade of her life. Lively is a compelling, vitally interested witness to time past' Helen Dunmore,Observer, Books of the Year
'Enthralling. Will delight all those who love Lively's novels'Daily Mail

Like old age itself this book is not for sissies. Luckily for us Lively is one of our most gifted writers . . . This is Lively at her best
A fascinating portrait not only of the author but of the times through which she has lived . . . sharp, unsentimental and ruefully funny
Lively's memoir about age and the pleasures and pains of seniority is informative, instructive, unexpected and beautifully observed
An elegant and thoughtful dissection of a subject few writers dare dwell on
Rich in observations and recollections. It should be read slowly because there is much to invite reflection
Other brilliant women writers (Joyce Carol Oates, Joan Didion . . .) have written whole volumes on widowhood, but Penelope Lively's description of that condition is all the more affecting by being sparse . . . Will delight all those who love Lively's novels . . . It's all enthralling: autobiography in miniature
A superb study of memory and of her own voyage into the ninth decade of her life . . . Lively is a compelling, vitally interested witness to time past
Ammonites & Leaping Fishis powerfully consoling. Lively is certainly sagacious, her words careful and freighted. But there is girlishness here, too. Things still catch her eye, her attention. New books. Old stories. Another day for the taking
