Product Description
TLS
‘Told with a power and an honesty which makes this a very remarkable document.’ --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Review
‘One of the most fascinating of books, wise in its appraisal of men, overflowing with humour and edged with irony, sharper than a surgeon’s knife. There are chapters which are veritable de Maupassant plots in their concise and dramatic realism.’ (New York Herald Tribune )
‘Told with a power and an honesty which makes this a very remarkable document.’ (TLS )
‘The Story of San Michele has style, wit, humour, great knowledge of the world, mixed with that strange simplicity of mind that is often the attribute of genius.’ (Observer )
'Romantic, realistic, pitiful and enchanting, this is the record of a citadel of the soul ... all fantasy does it seem? Impossible? Absurd? But San Michele stands there on the hill for witness. A miracle? Well, every work of art is a miracle, and every beautiful thing the shrine of a realized dream.' (Daily Telegraph )
'A most interesting and lovable revelation, enchantingly described.’ (Punch )
‘I have found Dr Munthe’s reminiscences intensely interesting and enjoyable, and it is hard to convey their charm of mingled pathos and humour or their multiplicity of appeal.’ (Illustrated London News )
‘It is an amazing book: wonderfully beautiful at times, appallingly horrible at others. For horrors he rivals Poe, recounting his gruesome experiences with a quiet simplicity which is strikingly effective.’ (Western Mail )
'A beautifully written series of episodes from Paris to Capri, ...recounting the author's struggle to discover what he desires from life.' - Matthew Linnecar (Geographical )
'There is enough material here to furnish the writers of sensational short stories with plots for the rest of their lives.' (Daily News ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
