Beschreibung:
Shirley Hazzard is the acclaimed author of four books of nonfiction and six novels, including the National Book Award-winning The Great Fire. Francis Steegmuller (1906-94) was an editor, translator, critic, and literary biographer.
Born in Australia, Shirley Hazzard first moved to Naples as a young woman in the 1950s to take up a job with the United Nations. It was the beginning of a long love affair with the city. The Ancient Shore collects the best of Hazzard's writings on Naples, along with a classic New Yorker essay by her late husband, Francis Steegmuller. For the pair, both insatiable readers, the Naples of Pliny, Gibbon, and Auden is constantly alive to them in the present.
