Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Life in Belsize Park, London, as remembered by residents. BELSIZE Remembered is a collection of memories of life past and present in Belsize Park – engaging, at times moving personal accounts that together show how the area evolved from the 1930s to the present. They depict many different aspects of life in a part of London that in the 20th century underwent radical changes. From the story of the world’s oldest Holocaust survivor to memories of artists and musicians as well as once favourite shops, pubs and places of entertainment, these reminiscences capture the flavour of what old hands and relative newcomers relish about where they live. ‘This book is a delight. A small and perfectly formed masterpiece. It has an almost incredible cast of characters from Agatha Christie to Madame Zwingli: in between we meet Ben Nicholson, Freud, Jung, Thomas Mann, R D Laing, Henry Moore and Twiggy. A marvellous cluster of memories with lovely vignettes.’ Michael Wood, historian and BBC broadcaster ‘ A beautifully produced book, lavishly illustrated in colour. The personal reminiscences show the interesting, funny, unexpected and rewarding sides of living in Belsize Park.' Marianne Colloms, co-author, 'Hampstead & Belsize Park, Then & Now'
