![]() ![]() Author: Blanch Lesley Publisher: Edizioni Medhelan Lesley Blanch ricostruisce vita amori e avventure del grande scrittore francese incantato dall'Oriente. Bhoémien, esotico e fieramente romantico: adorato e disprezzato in egual misura dalla società francese, Loti passò la sua vita a sfuggire alle costrizioni della Francia borghese - e in questo modo ridefinì la sua epoca. La biografia di Lesley Blanch ci conduce attraverso la fuga di un uomo dalle costrizioni della vita borghese, verso l'affascinante splendore dell'Islam, la vita lenta orientale, dove malinconia e movimento si uniscono a colmare la sua inesausta sete di vita. Ammirato da Henry James e da Marcel Proust, Pierre Loti, fu una icona del suo tempo che la penna di Lesley Blanch fa rivivere in tutta la sua freschezza e attualità. € 30,00
Scontato: € 28,50
