Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION FINALIST This is the story of the marriage behind some of the most famous literary works of the 20th century and a probing consideration of what it means to be a wife and a writer in the modern world"Simply, a masterpiece.Funder not only re-makes the art of biography, she resurrects a woman in full." Geraldine Brooks, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, author of HorseAt the end of summer 2017, Anna Funder found herself at a moment of peak overload. Family obligations and household responsibilities were crushing her soul and taking her away from her writing deadlines. She needed help, and George Orwell came to her rescue."Ive always loved Orwell," Funder writes, "his self-deprecating humour, his laser vision about how power works, and who it works on." So after rereading and savoring books Orwell had written, she devoured six major biographies tracing his life and work. But then she read about his forgotten wife, and it was a revelation.Eileen OShaughnessy married Orwell in 1936. OShaughnessy was a writer herself, and her literary brilliance not only shaped Orwells work, but her practical common sense saved his life. But why and how, Funder wondered, was she written out of their story? Using newly discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder re-creates the Orwells marriage, through the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War in London. As she peeks behind the curtain of Orwells private life she is led to question what it takes to be a writerand what it is to be a wife.A breathtakingly intimate view of one of the most important literary marriages of the twentieth century, Wifedom speaks to our present moment as much as it illuminates the past. Genre-bending and utterly original, it is an ode to the unsung work of women everywhere. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
