O autorovi
Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Annette Beauchamp on August 31, 1866, was an Australian-born British novelist. By marriage she became Gräfin (Countess) von Arnim and gained continental sophistication, which influenced her literary work. Her upbringing was cosmopolitan, having moved to England early in life and later on marrying German aristocrat Graf Henning August von Arnim-Schlagenthin. Elizabeth was known for her wit, satire, and keen observations of class and gender, which percolated through her narratives. Her semi-autobiographical work, 'Elizabeth and Her German Garden' (1898), brought her recognition for its lyrical style and feminist undercurrents. The book's sequel, 'The Solitary Summer' (1899), continues the exploration of the pleasures and pitfalls of rural life; it allows readers an introspective journal-like narrative that captures both the sensory experiences of the garden and the intellectual stimulation of a thoughtful, solitary life. Von Arnim's narrative style often intertwined the personal with broader social commentary, and her works are considered early feminist texts, offering insight into women's lives during the early 20th century. Elizabeth von Arnim contributed to literary culture with over 20 published works, and her novels such as 'The Enchanted April' and 'The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen' continue to be celebrated for their humor and descriptive power. She passed away on February 9, 1941, leaving behind a literary legacy that resonates with contemporary readers interested in issues of female autonomy and the pursuit of personal happiness.
