Un'estate da sola es una obra de Elizabeth von Arnim que funciona como una secuela espiritual de 'El jardín de Elizabeth'. En este diario personal, la protagonista expresa su profundo deseo de soledad y regeneración espiritual, planeando pasar un verano entero aislada en la naturaleza para permitir que su alma crezca en paz. Sin embargo, sus planes se ven constantemente interrumpidos por las demandas de su marido, sus hijas y el servicio doméstico. A través de una narrativa cargada de ironía y sátira, la autora explora el tema de la fuga: la necesidad de escapar de las convenciones sociales, las responsabilidades familiares y la tiranía del matrimonio. La obra utiliza el jardín no solo como un escenario de reflexión sobre la debilidad humana y la espiritualidad, sino como un símbolo de libertad y alegría frente a las invasiones de la vida cotidiana.
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.
