"Read in order to live!" – fascinating encounters with famous women who loved reading
Did you know that Marilyn Monroe was a passionate reader and that one of her favourite books was Ulysses by James Joyce? That Samuel Richardson, a London printer in his early fifties, made the hearts of women beat faster with his novels Pamela and Clarissa? That the monster created by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was perhaps really a woman? That Jane Austen only took women seriously who loved novels? Or that 150 years ago Eugenie Marlitt, a dismissed reader, went on to become the world's first bestselling woman writer?
Stefan Bollmann has brought these and a wealth of other episodes and anecdotes to life in an entertainingly written panorama. He also tells a surprisingly different history of reading, of its power and magic. Reading can change lives and loves. This is a book for women who adore reading – and which can tell men what their women-folk mean when they say, "Not now – I'm reading!"
»Die pointierte Erzählweise deckt neue Zusammenhänge auf und öffnet den Blick für originelle Details. Eine charmante, kurzweilige und anregende Lektüre. Genau das, was Frauen schätzen.«
