Sumérgete en la encantadora historia de Elizabeth y su jardín alemán, una novela que causó gran revuelo en el siglo XIX y que sigue resonando en el siglo XXI. Ambientada en la región alemana de Pomerania, esta edición bellamente ilustrada nos presenta a una joven mujer que encuentra en su jardín un refugio de libertad y rebeldía contra las convenciones sociales de su tiempo. Casada con un noble prusiano, Elizabeth halla consuelo y felicidad entre las flores, los árboles y sus amados libros, lejos de las obligaciones domésticas y la incomprensión marital. A través de su jardín, Elizabeth redefine su vida, explorando la soledad, la felicidad y las decisiones que la llevan a ser fiel a sí misma.

Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an English novelist. Born in Australia, she married a German aristocrat, and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin and her second Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer H. G. Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel Prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield. Though known in early life as May, her first book introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she eventually became to friends and finally to family.
