Descripción del artículo del vendedor

"The life she describes is heroic.yet astonishingly full, with political work, writing, friendships, lovers and travel."-- San Francisco Chronicle The second volume of Doris Lessing's extraordinary autobiography, a landmark literary memoir, covers the years 1949-62, from her arrival in post-war London with her son, Peter, and the manuscript for her first novel, The Grass is Singing, under her arm to the publication of her most famous work of fiction, The Golden Notebook. She describes how communism dominated the intellectual life of the Cold War era 1950s and how she, like nearly all communists, experienced a deep disillusionment with extreme and rhetorical politics and left communism behind. Evoking the bohemian lifestyle of a young writer and single mother, Lessing speaks openly about her writing process, her friends and lovers, her involvement in the theater, and her political activities. Walking in the Shade is an invaluable social history as well as Doris Lessing's Sentimental Education. Lessing holds nothing back in this unflinching account of her transformation--from idealistic communist to literary icon. A Writer's Life: Lessing details the creative process behind her groundbreaking novels, from carrying the manuscript of The Grass Is Singing to London to the explosive publication of The Golden Notebook. Leaving the Party: A raw, firsthand account of the intellectual and political fervor of the 1950s, and why she and so many others ultimately walked away from communism. A Woman's Independence: An intimate look at her life as a single mother in a new city, navigating friendships, love affairs, and the vibrant theater scene of the era. An Unsentimental Self-Portrait: With the candid, analytical eye that defines her fiction, Lessing examines her own past, her complicated family relationships, and her journey to become one of the most important writers of the 20th century.…
