Szezonális akció The Book of Life – A compendium of the best autobiographical and memoir writing

Beginning at childhood and progressing through to adulthood — if not necessarily maturity — The Book of Life offers the literary journal of a lifetime, in the company of the most fascinating and talented figures in history. From Alan Bennett’s wartime childhood in Yorkshire to Mahatma Gandhi’s experiment with cigarettes; Katherine Hepburn on her first acting job aged 21 and Primo Levi on being captured by Fascist militia at the same age; Darwin on his lifelong love — his work — and Nelson Mandela on his release from prison aged 71 … life and living in all its manifold glories is represented. With insights that encompass generations and continents, this is a uniquely enjoyable immersion in some of the world’s best, and most personal, writing.
