Sobre este artículo
The book's cover shows chips and rubs at the edges and corners. The spine is uncreased. Pages are tight, intact and unmarked, with a couple of small spots of discoloration. To quote from a review, "Readers who can shiver and laugh at the same time will thoroughly enjoy the batlike swoops in and out of this modern Nightmare Abbey. The book should never be recommended to sufferers from serious-mindedness..." 'The Flight from the Enchanter' was originally published in 1956, with this being the second printing.
This book is rather rare and priced at the low end of the spectrum.
Sinopsis
IRIS MURDOCH was born in Dublin in 1919 of Anglo-Irish parents. During the war she was an Assistant Principal at the Treasury, and then worked with UNRRA in London, Belgium and Austria. She held a studentship in philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge, and then in 1948 she returned to Oxford, where she became a Fellow of St Anne's College. Until her death in February 1999, she lived with her husband, the teacher and critic John Bayley, in Oxford. Awarded the CBE in 1976, Iris Murdoch was made a DBE in the 1987 New Year's Honours List. In the 1997 PEN Awards she received the Gold Pen for Distinguished Service to Literature. Iris Murdoch made her writing debut in 1954 with Under the Net, and went on to write twenty-six novels, including the Booker prize-winning The Sea, The Sea (1978). Other literary awards include the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for The Black Prince (1973) and the Whitbread Prize (now the Costa Book Award) for The Sacred and Profane Love Machine (1974). Her works of philosophy include Sartre: Romantic Rationalist, Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992) and Existentialists and Mystics (1997). She died in February 1999.
