50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION • With meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude, and contentment, here is an inimitable classic that guides us to find a space for contemplation and creativity in our own lives. "Gift from the Sea is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form ... It tells of light and life and love and the security that lies at the heart." —New York Times Book Review Drawing inspiration from the the shells on the shore, Lindbergh's musings on the shape of a woman's life will bring new understanding to readers, male and family, at any stage of life. A mother of five and professional writer, she casts an unsentimental eye at the trappings of modern life that threaten to overwhelm us—the timesaving gadgets that complicate our lives, the overcommitments that take us from our families. With great wisdom and insight she describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of a life lived in enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking work when it was first published, this book has retained its freshness as it has been rediscovered by generations of readers and is no less current today.

Autorka, matka početné rodiny, uznávaná spisovatelka a – podobně jako její slavnější manžel – pilotka, si dovolila na pár týdnů uniknout ze své každodenní reality a o samotě pobýt na floridském ostrově Captiva. Získala tak nadhled k sepsání úvah, které jsou dnes snad ještě aktuálnější než v době svého vzniku. Prostřednictvím zamyšlení nad otázkami jako je celistvost člověka, umění oprostit se od zbytečností, význam samoty či proměnlivost vztahů v průběhu života se dílo poprvé vydané v roce 1955 odvážně vydává na pole inspirační a motivační literatury. Lyrický projev a upřímná touha jít po podstatě věcí mu mezi dalšími pracemi z tohoto dnes už silného, samostatného proudu zaručují čestné místo. Lindberghová si pohrává s metaforami a přirovnává jednotlivé fáze života ženy k různým mušlím z ostrovní pláže. Poctivým tříbením vlastních myšlenek nabízí možnost nahlédnout na svůj život z nové perspektivy i svým čtenářkám a čtenářům.
