[ED: kartoniert], [PU: Harper Collins Perennial], Ungelesen. Datum/Stempel Cover-Innenseite vorne. Papier altersbedingt leicht vergilbt. "Lucid and complex, meditative and playful, concise and expansive .... The dazzling heart of City of the Mind lies in the fluid movement between public life and private passions." - Washington Post Some of Penelope Lively's earlier novels-including both the Booker Prize­winning Moon Tiger and Passing On-have explored the ways in which the past affects the present. Now, in her most ambitious novel, Lively has created a wonderfully rich and audacious confrontation with the mystery of London, with the buried lives that make us what we are, and with a contemporary cast of characters as varied as any she has written about before. "Elegant, erudite ... Penelope Lively has always been expert at discovering the universal that lurks on every street corner. Here that talent enables her to lift some very modest doings to an impressive level of intellectual significance." - New York Time. Book Review "Evocative ... gracefully written ... City oft he Mind has a rich, readable historical texture." - Boston Globe "A resonant new noveL ... Ms. Lively's vigorous imagination and crystalline prose transform Matthew Halland into a kind of mythological character, a perceptive and poetic guide through the complexities of contemporary life." - Wall Street Journal Penelope Lively was born in 1933 in Cairo and spent her childhood there. She is the author of nine novels, three volumes of short stories, and many books for children. She lives in north Oxfordshire and London., DE, [SC: 2.40], leichte Gebrauchsspuren, privates Angebot, 203x133mm, 231, [GW: 190g], [PU: New York], Banküberweisung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Englischsprachige Bücher / Romane (englisch)]<
