Down in the Valley: A Writer's Landscape: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Laurie Leeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2020
'Before I left the valley I thought everywhere was like this. Then I went away for 40 years and when I came back I realized that nowhere was like this.'
Laurie Lee walked out of his childhood village one summer morning to travel the world, but he was always drawn back to his beloved Slad Valley, eventually returning to make it his home.
In this portrait of his Cotswold home, Laurie Lee guides us through its landscapes, and shares memories of his village youth - from his favourite pub to winter skating on the pond, the church through the seasons, local legends, learning the violin and playing jazz records in the privy on a wind-up gramophone.
Filled with wry humour and a love of place,Down in the Valleyis a writer's tribute to the landscape that shaped him, and where he found peace.

Recenzii
Age
is
taking
Lee's
eyesight
but
polishing
up
the
anecdotes
and
deepening
his
characteristic
note
of
wistfulness
for
a
lost
age
...
It
is
a
fine
thing
to
revisit
this
writer's
landscape
and
hear
his
amiable
voice
in
it
again.
Down in the Valleyis truly evocative of time and place. A beautiful illustration of how, in some way, we are all indelibly influenced by the landscape of our childhood.
