Soundings by Anita Brookner
A collection of essays and literature, written over the last twenty-five years. Brookner begins by focusing on the life and work of the three great 19th century French painters Gericault, Ingres and Delacroix, before taking up subjects ranging from Rousseau's SOCIAL CONTRACT to Doris Lessing's THE GOLDEN NOTEBOOK.
