Rumer Godden Livres

    10 décembre 1907 – 8 novembre 1998

    Margaret Rumer Godden fut une auteure acclamée dont la production littéraire fut profondément façonnée par ses années de formation passées en Inde. Son œuvre considérable englobe des romans, de la poésie, des pièces de théâtre, des biographies et des livres pour enfants, souvent situés sur la toile de fond vivante de l'Inde. Elle possédait une perspicacité aiguë pour la condition humaine, explorant des relations complexes et des vies intérieures avec une prose lyrique. La voix distinctive de Godden donnait vie à des décors riches et à des personnages aux multiples facettes, offrant aux lecteurs un aperçu captivant de mondes divers.
