'She knew so little excitement.'

- The Last September, Elizabeth Bowen

[vintagebooksdesign]

Spanning the 1920s to the post-war years, this new selection brings Elizabeth Bowen's finest short stories together for the first time. Elegant and subtle, they showcase Bowen's ability to evoke ineffable emotions - grief, nostalgia, self-consciousness, dread - and combine remarkable psychological insight with vivid settings, from the countryside of Bowen's native Ireland to the streets of her London home after the Blitz. Encompassing characters from many walks of life and a vast array of moods, these are intricate journeys of domesticity and discovery, of the homely and uncanny, of the mind and body. @eva_magill_oliver was commissioned to create a colourful, timeless illustration for the cover. She describes her style as being characterised by the creation of delicate, meditative collages, drawings and paintings that reflect and explore different elements of the natural world. You can see more of her work on her Instagram page. Published by Vintage books and available to purchase from today. #elizabethbowen #graphicdesigner #bookdesign #bookillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZ5317BODZ/?igshid=1l3nu8lf33p1w

“The process of reading is reciprocal; the book is no more than a formula, to be furnished out with images out of the reader’s mind.” ———————————— Elizabeth Bowen is my favourite author - she inspires me with her eye for detail and for capturing the human emotions in their raw essence. She is not an easy author to read but oh boy, the effort is so worth it. If you haven’t read her works, I highly recommend you do. Good starting novels ( not featured here in the picture)are The Last September - a nostalgic elegy describing the Anglo- Irish Gentry and The Death Of The Heart - a heart rending portrait of a teenage girl caught up in the harsh emotions of her adolescence. ___________________________ Wishing everyone a Happy Weekend! ___________________________ #abowenfridaypost #bookstagram #booksofig #vintagebooks #elizabethbowen #frommycollection #literaturejunkie #lovetoread #readingisfun #readingissexy #readingiscool #bookishhygge #bookishallure #bookporn #booknerd #bookworm #met_createchange #thesimplejoysoflife #whatcouldbebetter (at Mumbai, Maharastra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm3KAw7Fa7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mxewgttmfl4b
