Acton - Memoires Of An Aesthete

In this remarkeble book, Harold Acton writes a witty and vivid account of the first thirty-five years of his life from his boyhood among the international colony of dilettanti in Florence before the First World War, to his maturity when he discovered his spiritual home in Peking before the old Chinese culture was destoyed by Chairman Mao. Between the two he was one of the brilliant  generation up at Oxford just after the war and afterwards moved to Paris where he knew many of the literary and artistic figures of the time. It is an outstanding memoir, deservedly regarded as a classic.Voor de lijst met illustraties: zie foto 2.Auteur: Harold ActonArtikelnummer : BF2458Categorie: Biografieën / Engelstalige boekenTaal: EngelsISBN: 02 4111 3733 / 97802 4111 3738Uitgever: Hamish HamiltonDruk: 1Jaar: 1984Pagina's: 416Bindwijze: PaperbackAfmetingen: 12.5 x 20 cm.Conditie: Goed; licht vergeelde pagina's; rimpel in de rugVerzending: BriefpostINCLUSIEF VERZENDKOSTEN
