Penelope Fitzgerald

    17 décembre 1916 – 28 avril 2000

    Penelope Fitzgerald était une romancière, poète, essayiste et biographe anglaise, célébrée pour son aperçu pénétrant de la nature humaine et sa narration magistrale. Avec un sens impeccable du détail et un esprit sec, elle a capturé les complexités de la vie quotidienne et les passions cachées de ses personnages. Sa prose, souvent ancrée dans des événements et des individus réels, résonne avec une vérité intemporelle et une élégance littéraire. Fitzgerald a laissé une marque indélébile dans la littérature britannique en tant que conteuse qui a su donner vie à l'histoire et aux vies humaines avec une sensibilité unique.
