I cani della mia vita
«I cani, quando amano, amano in modo costante, inalterabile, fino all'ultimo respiro. È così che mi piace essere amata. E perciò parlerò di cani»: così esordisce Elizabeth von Arnim in questa sorta di autobiografia intessuta di ironia. Scritto nel 1936, il libro racconta il rapporto di Elizabeth coi quattordici cani che, testimoni non del tutto silenziosi, le sono stati via via accanto. E proprio attraverso il loro succedersi vicino a lei, quasi «datando» affettivamente i momenti della sua esistenza, l'autrice evoca luoghi, fatti e amori di una vita non comune. Immediato è il collegamento col fortunato "Giardino di Elizabeth": sono cambiati i protagonisti ¿ i cani hanno sostituito i fiori e le piante ¿ ma sono rimasti intatti la sensibilità, l'intelligenza, l'anticonformismo con cui la von Arnim racconta.
