Description

Jan Morris's final writings offer a unique glimpse into the life of one of the 20th century's most extraordinary chroniclers. Spanning reflections on identity and nations, to everyday moments like the importance of good marmalade, Allegorizings is a collection of essays that showcase her wisdom, kindness and intelligence.

From witnessing seminal moments in history, such as the first ascent of Everest and the Eichmann Trial, to sharing insights into travel and identity, Morris's writing is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This book is a testament to her remarkable life and legacy, and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the stories behind the stories.
