Produktinformationen zu „Howards End Is On The Landing “
Welcher Bücherfreund kennt nicht dieses Problem: Die heimischen Regale biegen sich unter ungelesenen Klassikern der Literatur, die man alle noch lesen will, wenn man mal die Zeit hat. Susan Hill hat sich die Zeit genommen und ein Jahr lang nur Bücher aus heimischem Bestand gelesen - mit überraschenden Einblicken und einer großen Liebe zum geschriebenen Wort.
Klappentext zu „Howards End Is On The Landing “
Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to get to know her own collection again.
A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her house that day, Hill's eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored in her home, neglected for years. Howards End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of the nation's most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.

Rezension zu „Howards End Is On The Landing “
."..So skilled is Ms. Hill at bringing her books, and their authors, vividly before us that by the end of her year of reading we come to feel that her book-brimmed house is itself a lively presence, not so much haunted as animated by these familiar spirits..."--"Wall Street Journal"."..Delightful bibliophile's memoir...Just try to read this book without nosing around your own shelves"--"Booklist""Hill provides us with a reading list the equal of any degree course."--"The Times" (London)
