Kinta Beevor Reihenfolge der Bücher
Kinta Beevor hat ihren einzigen literarischen Beitrag spät im Leben veröffentlicht, eine zutiefst persönliche Erzählung, die ihre Jugend in der rauen Landschaft der nördlichen Toskana schildert. Aufgewachsen in einer imposanten Burg mit Blick auf die Carrara-Berge, bot ihre Erziehung einen dramatischen Hintergrund für ihre Reflexionen. Beevors Prosa, beeinflusst von ihrer künstlerischen Abstammung und einer schreibkundigen Familie, schafft eindringliche Bilder und intime Einblicke. Ihr Werk bietet den Lesern eine einzigartige Mischung aus persönlicher Geschichte und literarischer Sensibilität, die einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlässt.

"Wonderful...I fell immediately into her world, and was sorry when I reached the end." --Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun The sparkling memoir of an idyllic, bohemian childhood in an enchanted Tuscan castle between the wars. When Kinta Beevor was five, her father, the painter Aubrey Waterfield, bought the sixteenth-century Fortezza della Brunella in the Tuscan village of Aulla. There her parents were part of a vibrant artistic community that included Aldous Huxley, Bernard Berenson, and D. H. Lawrence. Meanwhile, Kinta and her brother explored the glorious countryside, participated in the region's many seasonal rites and rituals, and came to know and love the charming, resilient Italian people. With the coming of World War II the family had to leave Aulla; years later, though, Kinta would return to witness the courage and skill of the Tuscan people as they rebuilt their lives. Lyrical and witty, A Tuscan Childhood is alive with the timeless splendour of Italy.
