Antonia Murphy

    La scrittura di Antonia Murphy è plasmata dalle sue diverse esperienze come giornalista e avventuriera. I suoi saggi e resoconti di viaggio sono apparsi in prestigiose pubblicazioni di vela, riflettendo un profondo interesse per la storia mondiale e la politica perfezionato alla Columbia University. La distintiva voce di Murphy emerge da un ricco arazzo di professioni, da stilista di bambole a chef di yacht, e la sua esperienza nell'insegnamento della narrazione ai bambini infonde nelle sue opere un fascino unico. Il suo lavoro esplora spesso temi di avventura, scoperta e resilienza umana, frequentemente ambientato sullo sfondo del mare o di terre lontane, intrecciando senza soluzione di continuità le sue esperienze di vita in avvincenti esplorazioni letterarie.

      The book approaches suicide from the point of view of the suicidal state of mind and is intended to help us understand more about this condition. In its essence suicide is examined as a largely unconscious aggressive act having its roots in a perceived or real experience of thwarted childhood needs.
