Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. Following the death of his parents in a car crash, eleven-year-old Alex Dove is torn from his life on a remote farm in Tasmania and sent to school in England. Twelve years on, he must return to Australia to deal with his inheritance. But the timeless beauty of the land and his encounter with a young woman, whose own life has been marked by tragedy, persuade him to stay. They marry, and he finds himself drawn into the eccentric, often hilarious dynamics of island life. Longing for children, the couple open their home to a disquieting guest, a teenage castaway, whose presence on the farm begins to unravel their tenuously forged happiness, while at the same time offering the prospect of a much greater fulfilment. Secrets of the Sea is Nicholas Shakespeare's finest novel to date. N° de réf. du vendeur 1fa96ae0-b3c5-4cb1-b412-edc96193c2f5

Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Etat : Wie neu. Erstausgabe. First Imprint. 402 Seiten. Paperback in very good condition. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. Following the death of his parents in a car crash, 11-year-old Alex Dove is torn from his life on a remote farm in Tasmania and sent to school in England. 12 years on, he must return to Australia to deal with his inheritance. But the timeless beauty of the land and his encounter with a young woman persuade him to stay. - Nicholas William Richmond Shakespeare (born March 3, 1957 in Worcester) is a British journalist and writer. Born to a diplomat, Shakespeare grew up in the Far East and in South America. He was educated at the Dragon School preparatory school then Winchester College and Cambridge and worked as a journalist for BBC television and then on The Times as assistant arts and literary editor. From 1988 to 1991 he was literary editor of The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph. His time in South America is represented in two novels, The Vision of Elena Silves (1989, Somerset Maugham Award, Betty Trask Award) and The Dancer Upstairs (1995, American Library Association Award). Other less well known works from this period are The Men Who Would Be King (1984), Londoners (1986) and The High Flyer (1993). In 1999, Shakespeare published his biography of Bruce Chatwin to widespread critical acclaim. This was followed by the novel Snowleg (2004, long-listed for the Booker Prize, Dublin IMPAC Award) a 'place' book, In Tasmania (2004) and Secrets of the Sea (2007). Shakespeare has also produced several extended biographies for television on Evelyn Waugh, Mario Vargas Llosa, Bruce Chatwin and on the actor Dirk Bogarde (Arena 2001, BAFTA "Best Arts Documentary Award", RTS "Best Documentary Award"). The Dancer Upstairs was made into a film in 2002 for which Shakespeare wrote the screenplay and which John Malkovich directed. Shakespeare was nominated as one of Granta's Best of British Young Novelists in 1993 and has written articles for Granta, the London Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement among others. Shakespeare's novels place ordinary people against a background of significant events, as with The Dancer Upstairs, which deals with Abimael Guzmán, leader of Peru's Sendero Luminoso; and Snowleg, set partly during the Cold War in the German Democratic Republic. In 1999, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In 2009, he donated the short story The Death of Marat to Oxfam's 'Ox-Tales' project, four collections of UK stories written by 38 authors. Shakespeare's story was published in the 'Earth' collection[1]. ^ Oxfam: Ox-Tales wikipedia--wiki-Nicholas_Shakespeare Aus: wikipedia- Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 640.
