Good account of Barrie and his real relation to the boys he befriended which led to his Peter Pan story. ( ) Andrew Birken does a great job describing the enchanting life of J.M. Barrie using interviews and actual letters from family and friends. He presents the Lost Boys life as a sad and wonderful life, with Barrie taking on the role of gaurdian of the boys in the Davies family after the tragic death of their parents. This book became my undergraduate thesis topic, and I'm absolutely smitten. Birkin's masterful retelling of the relationship between Barrie and the LlD boys is fascinating. Plus, the book contains a second sort of narrative, one made up of over 300 photographs alongside the text, based primarily on primary sources. Truly a wonderful story. I'm so glad Yale published this nearly exact copy of the original edition. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, led a life almost as magical and interesting as as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Llewelyn Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and devoted surrogate father when they were orphaned. Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie's life and the wonderful world he created for the boys. Originally published in 1979, this enchanting and richly illustrated account is reissued with a new preface to mark the release of Neverland, the film of Barrie's life, and the upcoming centenary of Peter Pan. "A psychological thriller . . . one of the year's most complex and absorbing biographies."--Gerald Clarke, Time "A terrible and fascinating story."--Eve Auchincloss, Washington Post Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
