Rooms of Their Own travels around the world examining the unique
spaces, habits and rituals in which famous writers created their
most notable works. The perennial question asked of all authors is,
'How do you write?'. What do they require of their room or desk? Do
they have favourite pens, paper or typewriters? And have they found
the perfect daily routine to channel their creativity? Crossing
centuries, continents and genres, Alex Johnson has pooled 50 of the
best writers and transports you to the heart of their writing rooms
- from attics and studies to billiard rooms and bathtubs.Discover
the ins and outs of how each great writer penned their famous
texts, and the routines and habits they perfected. Meet authors who
rely on silence and seclusion and those who need people, music and
whisky. Meet novelists who travel half-way across the world to a
luxury writing retreat, and others who just need an empty shed at
the bottom of the garden.Some are particular about pencils, inks,
paper and typewriters, and some will scribble on anything -
including the furniture. But whether they write in the library or
in cars, under trees, private islands, hotel rooms or towers - each
of these stories confirms that there is no 'best way' to write.
From James Baldwin, writing in the small hours of the morning in
his Paris apartment, to DH Lawrence writing at the foot of a
towering Ponderosa pine tree, to the Bronte sisters managing in a
crowded co-working space, this book takes us into the lives of some
of history's greatest ever writers, with each writing space
illustrated in evocative watercolour by James Oses.In looking at
the working lives of our favourite authors, bibliophiles will be
transported to other worlds, aspiring writers will find inspiration
and literature fans will gain deeper insight into their most-loved
authors.

Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
