Krátky popis
'This small book contains multitudes' Marina Warner'For those who
have suffered for and in love, this may prove to be one of the most
useful books they will ever read' Nicholas Lezard, GuardianAn
extraordinary, uncompromising and consoling celebration of a life -
through childhood, faith, family, love, friendship, pain and loss -
written as its author was facing her own mortalityGillian Rose was
a star academic, acclaimed as one of the most dazzling and original
thinkers of her time. Told that she had incurable cancer, she found
a new way to explore the world and herself. Tender, heartbreakingly
honest and written with moments of surprising humour, Love's Work
is the exhilarating result.In this short, unforgettable memoir,
Rose looks back on her childhood, from the young dyslexic girl,
torn between father and stepfather, to the adolescent confronting
her Jewish inheritance. As an adult, Gillian Rose proves herself a
passionate friend, a searcher for truth, a woman in love and,
finally, an exacting but generous patient.Intertwining the personal
and the philosophical, Rose meditates on faith, conflict and
injustice, the fallibility and endurance of love, our yearning for
independence and for connection to others. With droll
self-knowledge ('I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs,'
Rose writes) and with unsettling wisdom ('To live, to love, is to
be failed'), Love's Workasks the unanswerable question: how is a
life best lived?
